Will Bratton 

Wealth Advisor, SageSpring | Financial Professional, RJFS 

Will Bratton joined SageSpring Wealth Partners in January of 2016. For three years, he partnered with his mentor, Michael Purifoy, CPA, CFP®, to help provide clients with the comprehensive financial expertise that has helped make SageSpring one of the top-producing branches of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

Will works diligently with his clients to create comprehensive financial plans focused on sound investing principles, advanced long-term tax planning strategies, proper risk management, and estate planning. Will’s desire is to serve his clients with the heart of a teacher, educating them on strategies designed to provide confidence and help build generational wealth.

Will is focused on building long-term relationships to help his clients navigate the complicated decisions that need to be made on the journey to achieving their financial independence. Will currently holds the Series 7 and Series 66, as well as Life, Health, and Annuity licenses.

Will was born and raised in the Nashville area and is a graduate of Brentwood High School (‘02). He obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Evansville (’06). He holds a Master’s of Sport Administration from Belmont University (’07).

Prior to returning to Nashville in the summer of 2015, Will spent eight years in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. His career began in the sports industry with the unique opportunity to work with the PGA TOUR and The First Tee, a non-profit youth development organization dedicated to positively impacting young lives through the game of golf.

Will was involved in various roles with the organization, including working with PGA TOUR events and other third-party sponsors to expand The First Tee National School Program to thousands of elementary school students across the country. During his last two years with The First Tee, Will was responsible for developing relationships with high capacity donors, inspiring them to support The First Tee’s mission.

Working in the non-profit sector provided Will with invaluable experiences in working with a diverse group of people to achieve a common goal. These experiences taught Will that the most effective way to inspire is through dedication to serving others by forming and maintaining meaningful, positive relationships. Will continues to take this approach, building long-term relationships with his clients.

In his free time, you can find Will on the golf course, looking for his golf ball in the woods. He and his wife, Graham, also a Nashville native, enjoy trying the newest restaurants around town, as well as attending Vandy baseball and basketball games. Their daughter, Harper, arrived in February, 2019. They are active members at Christ Presbyterian Church in Brentwood, TN. Will serves on the board of Harvest Hands Community Development Center, an organization that serves as a catalyst for Christ-centered, holistic community development in South Nashville.

Jeffrey T. Dobyns

President, SageSpring | Financial Advisor, RJFS

Beyond crunching numbers and investment strategies, at SageSpring, we’re about building relationships. When you encounter Founder & President of SageSpring, Jeff Dobyns, it’s easy to understand why this is at the very heart of who we are as a firm. You won’t find stuffy formalities with Jeff; instead, you can expect to find him sharing a warm smile, communicating a compelling vision, or patiently untangling life’s complex challenges with clients. He believes in truly getting to know clients, understanding their aspirations and priorities, and navigating their financial plans with a tailored, comprehensive approach. Our team members have often been caught taking notes on Jeff’s effortless relationship skills from a distance, and we admire them for striving to learn from one of the best. 

Jeff’s financial expertise and wisdom are the perfect match to his innate people skills. Jeff holds the prestigious CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM certification, Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®), and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChLU®) designations, and has held executive positions with financial planning firms for more than two decades. 

His dedication extends beyond the office to the boardroom and the local community, where Jeff is passionate about giving back. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Men of Valor, a prison ministry and mentoring program. Jeff also serves on the board of Send Musicians to Prison, which shares hope, healing and restoration with the imprisoned through musicians & artists. Jeff actively supports other initiatives in the community by sitting on the board of The Signatry of Middle Tennessee and the Halftime Institute of Nashville. 

Witnessing his four children, Gracyn, Hunter, Tanner, and Logan, excel on the field is almost just as rewarding, if not more, than celebrating the victories of seeing his clients overcome obstacles and build wealth. Spending weekends boating on the lake, hiking mountain trails, and fishing with his family are the moments Jeff cherishes most. It’s this grounded perspective that reveals the true meaning of wealth for Jeff: not just numbers on a page, but the freedom to create experiences that enrich your life and the lives of those you love. When you choose the Dobyns McMillin Wealth Team, you choose more than financial expertise. You choose a partner who champions your dreams, celebrates your victories, and walks besides you on the path to achieving your unique goals.

**Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board’s initial and ongoing certification requirements.
