Mark Howard
President
Mark began his career in 1992 in Atlanta with an international investment firm, where he served as the national vice president. Soon after, his father suddenly became ill and passed away. Mark experienced firsthand how financially devastating his father’s death was on his family. He gained a newfound dedication to helping others understand the importance of proper financial planning and asset preservation.
With nearly three decades of experience in the insurance, wealth management and financial services industry, Mark now provides guidance to clients and their professional advisors on insurance, college planning, estate planning, wealth management, multigenerational asset allocation and individual retirement planning.
A native of Savannah, where he currently resides, Mark graduated from the Savannah Country Day School, where he was president of his senior class, vice president of the honor council, a captain of the football and track teams, and a four-sport athlete. Mark is a graduate of the University of Georgia and also completed post-graduate work at Vanderbilt University.
With clients that include many recognizable names from the world of sports, entertainment and politics, as well as from all walks of life, Mark is a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), the National Ethics Association, the 200 Club, and the Savannah Chamber of Commerce.
Mark has shared his financial industry experience with several news outlets throughout the years, including The Wall Street Journal, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Barron's Magazine, South Magazine and Savannah Morning News. For the past six years, Mark has hosted a popular weekly radio show each Saturday morning at 9 a.m. on WTKS called “The Retirement Huddle,” where he discusses current events and their impact on planning the perfect retirement.
Mark believes in giving back to the community and has served on a number of local boards, including SAFE Shelter Center for Domestic Violence Services, Savannah Technical College Foundation, the Savannah Downtown Business Association and Calvary Day School.
In his spare time, Mark enjoys spending time with his wife Dee, running, swimming, boating, reading, listening to music and being a proud father to his two wonderful children.
