As a Wealth Advisor on the Purifoy Wealth Team, John works closely with our advisors and team members, providing support and assistance in all aspects of helping clients to achieve their financial goals.

Self-described as an “accidental accountant,” it is no surprise that John found himself in wealth management several years into his career. Growing up in Cookeville, TN, John was surrounded by a large and loving family where he spent the first part of his life playing in creeks, hiking on the family farm, playing tennis, and working hard in school. Following high school, John attended Furman University where he graduated cum laude with a degree in Business Administration and a focus in Sustainability Sciences. After Furman, John attended Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management where he graduated with his Master’s in Accountancy. He spent the next five years at Ernst and Young (EY) where he audited some of the largest public and private companies in Nashville. Partway through his career at EY, John developed an interest in investing and estate planning, which pointed him towards a career in wealth management. John left EY and moved into wealth management where he has served as a Wealth Advisor at Truxton and now SageSpring. 

John is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). One of his main draws to wealth management is the privilege to partner with clients during their financial journey. Reaching financial goals, investing, estate planning, and taxation are among the top concerns for his clients, and John is willing to dig in and help address what is top of mind.

Outside of work, you will find John enjoying time with his family and friends, playing sports, traveling, reading, and enjoying the outdoors.

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.
