Gonzalez Wealth Team

Your Partner in Comprehensive Planning

Our team uses a comprehensive approach to help you answer the two questions that cause investors concern: “Can I achieve my wealth goals?” and “Do I have any financial blind spots?” Our goal is to guide you from the uncertainty of these questions to feeling confident in being able to say, “I have what I need to live the life I want and can sleep at night knowing my family will be okay.”

About Us

We believe that knowing and understanding what your hard-earned money is invested in makes a lot of sense. Because of this belief, we take pride in having a “heart of a teacher” mentality in our wealth management approach. As our aim is not to be your first financial advisor, but to be your last one, we’re confident that, as long as we do what is right for you, your relationship with us will continue and the word will spread.

We help you determine your individual and family goals by discussing where you are today compared to where you would like to be in the future. As part of our comprehensive wealth management approach, we partner with estate planning attorneys, CPAs, and life insurance, disability, and long-term care providers to confirm we have all bases covered when implementing your personalized financial plan. Whether you are an individual in need of pre-retirement or retirement planning, a small business owner or direct sales professional in need of tax or business financial planning, or a recent widow or widower in need of financial guidance and estate planning, we take pride in providing exceptional customer service and forming trustworthy and lasting friendships with our clients.

Above all, we are confident that wherever you are on your financial journey, you will be pleased with our professional wealth management services, up-to-date solutions, and seasoned expertise.

Financial Associate

Travis grew up in Upstate New York, where he learned the value of hard work and keeping things simple. After high school, he joined the U.S. military and served for nine years as an HVAC technician and instructor. His time in uniform shaped much of who he is, instilling discipline, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to serving others.

When his military service ended, Travis knew he wanted to continue helping people, just in a different way. He earned a degree in Finance from LeTourneau University in 2025 and soon joined SageSpring Wealth Partners as a financial associate.

Now, Travis works with individuals and families to make sense of their financial picture, whether that’s planning for retirement, investing wisely, or building a long-term strategy. He’s someone who listens first, asks thoughtful questions, and sticks with his clients for the long haul. For him, the real reward is seeing people gain clarity, confidence, and peace of mind about their future.

When he’s not working, you’ll usually find Travis outside hiking, backpacking, or playing a round of golf. He’s always up for a good challenge, whether it’s on the trail, the course, or in helping someone take the next step with their finances.

Jeffrey T. Dobyns

President, SageSpring 

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.
