Financial Advisor
As a second-generation financial professional, I understand the value of long-term relationships, thoughtful planning and personalized advice. After more than seven years in the banking industry as a credit analyst and commercial lender, I joined Benjamin F. Edwards in January 2026 to work alongside my mother, Bridget Weatherly, helping individuals and families pursue their financial goals with confidence. Bridget has more than 30 years of experience helping clients navigate important financial decisions, and together we are committed to providing personalized guidance built on trust, service and lasting relationships.
Throughout my career, I have built a strong foundation in financial analysis, lending and client relationships. These experiences taught me the importance of understanding each client’s unique circumstances and developing strategies tailored to their goals, priorities and long-term objectives.
At Benjamin F. Edwards, I work closely with individuals and families to help them navigate life’s financial opportunities and challenges. Whether the focus is building wealth, planning for retirement, managing significant life transition or creating a legacy for future generations, I believe successful financial planning begins with listening and understanding what matters most to each client.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Mississippi State University and am proud to serve on the Board of Directors for Coast Young Professionals. I value opportunities to stay involved in the community and contribute to the continued growth of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast.
When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me on the golf course, on the tennis court, or in the gym. My wife, Tyler, and I live in Biloxi with our son, Brooks, and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Together, Bridget and I combine decades of financial services experience with a shared commitment to helping clients build, preserve and transfer wealth across generations.
With a legacy spanning 137 years over six generations of the Edwards family, Benjamin F. Edwards today is an entrepreneurial wealth-management enterprise welcoming client-first, full-service financial advisors to join the firm. Advisors at Edwards seek to render solid investment advice while helping clients develop a plan to reach their goals. The growing national firm is now in 36 states with 107 locations, and over $55 billion in assets under management.
