Jim Stoddard

Thanks for visiting our page. I am a person of many interests who likes to live out my comfort zone, experience new ventures, and check-off items on my bucket list.

From a professional perspective, I have done everything from shucking oysters and selling shoes to being the CEO of several companies. My main forte, however, is being an entrepreneur and financial planner. I have also authored a best-selling book, The Financial Pocketknife, been a college professor and am a professional public speaker. Connect with me on LinkedIn if you are interested in knowing more. https://www.linkedin.com/in/stoddardjim/

My hobbies including being a musician and artist. I love all things "guitar" and have played virtually every day for the past 40 years. I am also a bit of a nerd in that I constantly read (listen to audiobooks) and enjoy bios, history, and self-improvement genres. Finally, I am big into fitness and outside activities where I enjoy walking, swimming, cycling, and softball (and really anything that requires movement).

I am a native of Tampa Bay and grew up on the beach, where I am always the most comfortable and content. Most importantly, I love being with my family and dogs!

My motto is "Dream Big, Live with Purpose, and Attack the Day!"

I have been fortunate to help lead some exciting start-ups and have seen the positive impact a new venture can make. I have been a small business owner and have also enjoyed working for three national corporations, where I honed my skills in sales and portfolio management.

Real estate is a passion of mine. I have been involved in various aspects of the industry, including investing, renovating, managing, and serving as an agent. My time as a police/SWAT officer taught me a lot about dealing with life's challenges. That knowledge has been invaluable in my career and life.

I hold licenses in real estate, life and health insurance, and financial planning (Series 65), which have all helped me in different parts of my career. My well-rounded experience gives me even more insight as I move forward with new challenges.

Outside of work, I have done stand-up comedy and improvisation but my biggest joy is family, friends, and faith. I live in Georgia with my wife Christy, our children, and their families. When I am not working, you can find me enjoying classic ski boats, indulging in shooting sports, or just having a good laugh with some comedy.
