National. Experienced.
Passionate.

Hey there! I'm Drake and I head up the team at FinTeam. For us, financial consulting is more than a job, it's a passion. We love supporting small businesses and helping them achieve financial peace of mind, pay down debt, and improve profitability. I'm a data-loving, excel-shortcutting, cash flow forecasting finance nerd and I tenaciously apply myself until my clients reach their goals... Then we set new ones!

I started doing fractional CFO work with FinTeam in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. As you can imagine, I was tested by fire during that time, as companies relied on my advice to navigate the ensuing recession. Since that initial experience, I spent time in asset management, valuation, and leveraged finance, where I learned how to evaluate companies, find key issues and problems within organizations, and determine areas that could be improved to increase valuations.

Since rejoining FinTeam, I've have the privilege of working with four companies, all of which are led by exemplirary individuals whom I greatly admire. If you're ever curious about the quality of our work, I'd encourage you to not just take our word for it, talk to our clients, peers, and colleagues. I'd be more than happy to connect you with them.

Drake graduated from Liberty University in 2.5 years with a degree in Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Economics and earned a Master's in Finance from Vanderbilt University. He has been awarded the Outstanding Graduate award from the Liberty Universtiy School of Business and the Owen Service Award from Vanderbilt's Owen Graduate School of Management. Drake has passed all 3 levels of the CFA and has certifications in financial modeling, excel, and microsoft office. Outside of work, you can find him at the gym, hiking a mountain, playing the piano, or reading a book.
