Mr. Herford graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1981 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Finance.  He achieved his CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter) designation in 1985 and his ChFC (Chartered Financial Consultant) designation in 1991.  As you can see by the list below, Mr. Herford brings a complete holistic approach to business planning and wealth management strategies and has extensive knowledge in the area of executive benefit planning for corporations.

 

Mr. Herford was drawn to the financial services industry after hearing about stories of his Grandfather’s early death and liquidation of the family business due to lack of proper planning. In 1981, he began his career as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual Life. 

“Early in my life, I saw how the lack of a strategic succession plan caused my family to lose its business to estate taxes.  My commitment is to help my clients attain all the financial goals that is important to them and to avoid these consequences.”

Mr. Herford joined Thompson Financial Group in September 2006 and chose to focus on strategic planning for mid-sized family-owned businesses.   He has developed specialized strategies in executive benefits planning, succession and estate planning, and has extensive experience servicing in the manufacturing, construction, medical and investment specialty industries.

Mr. Herford lives in Charlotte with his wife of 28 years, Roxanne.  Their two sons -- Patrick a graduate of UNC who is married and living in Charlotte, and Robert who is currently attending USC -- are Mr. Herford’s favorite golf partners.
