Growing up in Nashville with a huge, supportive black community around him, Brenton has always cherished personal relationships. The son of two first-generation high income-earners, his parents’ social circles were filled with successful professionals of color, many of whom were also the first in their families to earn the money they were earning. As the saying goes, “unallocated money is spent money”, and Brenton watched these people he loved, all succeeding in their careers, struggle to manage what they brought home.

Brenton got to see firsthand the responsibility of taking care of others when you do well, and the pitfalls of offering that help without a plan. This responsibility is what drove him to financial services in 2010 when two financial professionals, Alan Moore and Marcus Henderson, showed him the impact sharing financial literacy could have on his community. As it turns out, the latter of the two had not only been a longtime advisor and friend to Brenton’s parents, but was also the founder of Henderson Financial Group Inc., the firm where Brenton still serves to this day.

Since that time, Brenton has dedicated his practice not to acquiring clients who are already wealthy, but seeking those who need help getting there.
