Hello, I’m Preston, co-founder of Blackbear Capital. I’m a 2010 graduate of Ripley High School and a 2014 graduate of Marshall University. I majored in finance and business and spent some extra time in Huntington to get a Masters in Business Administration.
I’ve been working in the financial services industry since I graduated from college. The past several years have taught me that working in this industry can be very stressful, but also very rewarding. I also learned early on in my career that diversification is the most important part of investment management. I use stocks, bonds, cds, mutual funds, etfs, private funds, and annuities to help clients reach their goals. I spend the majority of my time researching and looking for the best income producing investment vehicles available.
Outside of Blackbear Capital, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing sports, going to sporting events, and church. I am married to Whitney Whitney and we have a son named Davis. We live in Evans, WV.
