“The real art of conducting consists in transitions.” Gustav Mahler
As an ensemble musician, I learned from an early age that the performing group was only as strong as their conductor. That individual had the ability to lead the entire group through the key changes, starts and finishes to achieve perfection. That’s precisely what I do for our clients at LeConte Wealth Management.

In my 20-year career, my focus has always been helping people make good choices. Whether it’s how to create a charitable giving strategy that will help a worthy non-profit for years to come after their passing, or how to pass hard-earned wealth down to the next generation in the most tax efficient manner, I’ve always been passionate about helping clients realize those possibilities. I focus on the feelings and emotions of financial decisions and to help clients not just visualize what their goals are, but how to reach them.

The Rockets’ Red Glare
There is a little-known connection between the Star Spangled Banner and Maryville, Tennessee. Everyone knows that Francis Scott Key authored the poem, “Defence of Fort M’Henry” as he watched the bombardment of Baltimore from a British navy ship on September 13th and 14th in 1814. Few folks remember that Key was a successful attorney who...
Is All This Worth It
Money reveals… Not just what we can afford, but what we fear, value, pursue, avoid, and ultimately trust. As I reflect back on my upbringing and even well into the early years of my career, I thought I understood money because I understood the societal rules around it. Save consistently. Avoid unnecessary debt. Work hard....
Know Why, But Also Know Your Why
In 1826, getting anywhere new usually meant doing it the hard way: on foot, by wagon, on horseback, or by boat. If you wanted to reach something no one around you had reached before, you needed more than courage. You needed a clear reason to keep going and eventually a reliable way to get there....
Life’s Curveballs
As a dad and part-time baseball coach, I’ve spent countless hours on the field watching kids learn one of life’s toughest lessons: you can practice your swing for weeks, but when that curveball comes looping in, everything changes in a split second.
