Individual Advisor

“I’ve spent most of my career in financial services, either directly providing financial advice to individuals and businesses or leading other advisors to help them grow their book of business. Yet, it wasn’t until joining Blue Trust that I was I able to fully integrate biblical principles into my practice.”

– Kerry Mallory
National Managing Director & Sr. Private Wealth Advisor, Blue Trust
Atlanta, GA

Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established.
