For over a decade, Lucas has been refining his craft as a financial planner. His career began as an intern with Edward Jones in Nashville in 2009. He then dove deeper into the field by working for VALIC Financial Advisors out of Brentwood, where he worked specifically on large retirement plans. As Lucas had now seen firsthand the pros and cons to working for large firms, his desire to work in a more intimate atmosphere took hold. In 2014, Southwestern Investment Group gave Lucas the platform he had been searching for. As an independent practice, Southwestern advisors are able to lead clients down the financial path which best suits their individual needs. This comprehensive approach to financial planning is what drew Lucas to making Southwestern Investment Group his permanent home.
Lucas began his higher education at Murray State University, majoring in business administration. He then went on to pursue his master’s degree in personal financial planning from The University of Alabama. Lucas continued his professional education by receiving his Series 7, Series 66, Life, Health, and insurance licenses. He is an Investment Management Consultant through Raymond James Institute of Investment Management Consulting*, and also holds a certificate from Belmont University’s Executive Education Program for Financial Planning.

Outside of the office, you will usually find Lucas outdoors with his family. This is where he feels most at home as he was raised on a tobacco farm in rural Christian County, KY.
