Camm's financial services career began in 1994 as a paraplanner producing estate and retirement plans for top producing agents at Prudential Preferred Financial Services in the Knoxville-Chattanooga, Tennessee, area. Two years later, he was specializing in investment and life insurance planning as a registered representative in Prudential's Knoxville office.

Seeing opportunity ahead, Camm joined Cravens & Company Wealth Management as a financial advisor until 1999, when he joined Raymond James' Financial Institutions Division. He was branch manager at Citizens National Bank, a $500 million community bank, where he was responsible for financial, estate and retirement planning as well as managing the investment program.

"Raymond James' commitment to putting clients' interests first and the culture of putting independence and professionalism as top priorities attracted me to the firm," says Camm.

Offering retirement income planning, risk management, financial planning and advanced investment portfolio management, Camm's goal for his clients is for them to be free to pursue their passions — family, lifestyle, career and faith — without worrying about the day-to-day aspects of their financial and retirement income plans.

He chose to leave UTK after completing his Master's level coursework to seek a career in financial services.
