I joined the financial services industry directly out of college, and I am extremely grateful I made that choice. I am much wiser having “grown up” in the business! During my lifetime, I have seen many people close to me make poor financial decisions. I would often wonder, why? Was it a lack of knowledge? Maybe a lack of available resources? Or do some people just get overwhelmed making important financial decisions? Seeking the answers to these questions along with my fascination with how wealth is grown and kept led me to make a career out of helping people make strategic, holistic financial decisions. For nearly fourteen years, I was a partner and co-owner of another firm. We had an enormous amount of success! I always knew though that my path would lead me to founding my very own comprehensive financial planning business. That dream became reality in January of 2023 when Enrich Wealth Partners was created! We will continue to strive each day to provide our clients with a world class experience. We will always do what we say we will do, and your interests will always be above ours.
I have an amazing wife Joanne, who is a wonderful and devoted mother to our four girls. They are without a doubt my greatest blessing. Their names are Rosalind Carter (7), Molly Catherine (6), Millie Drew (4) and Emma Claire (2). Most of my free time is spent with them, however, I do love to bird hunt when my girls allow me and have taken an interest in golf (which can test even the most patient person!)
Marna joined our team in 2018. She is passionate about building strong relationships with each of our clients and addressing their needs and desires. Her goals are to build trust, form lifetime relationships and help all clients achieve their goals. "I enjoy getting to know each client individually. I recognize that small things to one person may not be as small to another." Marna’s strong organizational skills encourage team communication and timely completion of action items. She continually looks for opportunities to keep our firm moving forward and enhance client satisfaction.
Marna’s education and experience include nursing, nuclear medicine and administration. She attended the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia College and State University. She received a bachelor’s degree in science and a master’s degree in Health Administration.
Marna spent her childhood in the rural backwoods of South Georgia, where she worked on the farm and learned about tree harvesting - and where money really comes from!
Marna’s drive comes from her love of people and her desire to make small differences. Marna and her husband are very dedicated to their family, which she often refers to as her "zoo." She and her husband love being involved in their children’s interests.
Her values come from a long line of hard-headed, hard-working, honest, kind and generous men and women throughout her life. In her spare time, Marna enjoys four wheeling, hiking and socializing around the fire pit with family and friends.
Brandi Blankenship joined our team in June 2020. She has more than 20 years of experience in multiple industries in Executive Administration.
Brandi and her husband Ray have three children, Allie, Kylie, and Kennedy. When not at the office, she enjoys reading, crafts, being outdoors, and spending time with her family and friends.
