Melissa M. Jones

Financial Planning Executive, SageSpring | Financial Advisor, RJFS

Melissa has worked in the financial industry since 2009. Her experience ranges from one year as an independent adviser in a community bank in Paducah, Kentucky, to just shy of seven years servicing high-net-worth individuals and families with a wealth management firm in Brentwood, Tennessee. Melissa obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a Certificate in Financial Planning from Belmont University.

As a a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Melissa knows that financial planning is not a set-it-and-forget-it occupation. Client financial goals continually shift over time when life circumstances change. One of Melissa’s many roles is to meet with clients periodically to stay informed on these ever-changing circumstances. She is also responsible for review meeting preparation. This extremely involved process ranges from figuring out the most efficient ways to merge finances with a loved one, saving for a large purchases, financially planning for a growing family, education funds, life insurance, and retirement decisions to forethought into tax strategies for higher incomes, estate planning, caring for aging parents, and long-term care options.

Melissa and her family relocated back to Nashville after spending two years in Kentucky. She met a SageSpring financial advisor through mutual friends and was impressed with their love of the firm. After getting to spend eight months at home with her first child, she felt like it was time to join the workforce again. Melissa immediately thought of SageSpring and has been here ever since.

As a working mother, Melissa appreciates the flexibility that SageSpring provides. Being able to develop lifelong relationships with clients through personalized service is one of her greatest missions. She also gets the opportunity to balance work and life by utilizing the flexible hours to stay at home with her kids once during the work week.

Melissa enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children, Caroline and Wyatt. When she’s not chasing the kids, Melissa is chasing her two wild fur kids. She prefers to spend time together outdoors and is extremely proud of her StrongFirst kettlebell training.

Cash Tunstall

Executive Vice President, SageSpring | Financial Advisor, RJFS

Although an appropriate name considering his vocation, Cash was named after an inspirational friend of his parents. He grew up in Kentucky in his family’s equine business and studied at Asbury University where he met his wife of more than 15 years. Cash, Lauren, and their two young children live in Franklin, Tennessee.

Cash began his career in Nashville with The Southwestern Company in 2005 and was introduced to the financial services division, now SageSpring, as a client of the firm. Today, at SageSpring, Cash also serves as an Advisor Development Leader, and enjoys mentoring, coaching, and supporting advisors in their professional growth and service to clients. This is typically the part of the bio in which one may share about pastimes and hobbies. However, between this business, his romantic relationship with Lauren, and being a constant instigator of his kids – there is not a lot of free time. If there is any to speak of, Cash can be found tinkering and DIYing on the house and in the garage, usually creating more problems than the ones he is fixing.

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.
