In 2020, Tim Martin will celebrate 20 years in financial services. A graduate from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta with a finance degree at the age of 21, he started Tim Martin Wealth Strategies.
Tim realized that clients discovered that the question, “Am I going to be okay financially?” could not be answered from a representative on an 800-line or from a website that doesn’t know you personally. Relationships matter to Tim and he has found that listening is the key to understanding and developing a plan. Always putting the client’s needs first gets the job done right.
Tim is a Fellow with the Life Underwriters Training Council and a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA)-Atlanta Chapter. He is currently enrolled in the American College of Financial Services Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) program allowing him to keep up with current industry trends and tax-laws.
Series 7, 6, 66, 63, and 24 FINRA securities licenses.

“When you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” When he is not in the office or with a client, Tim enjoys spending time with his wife, Melanie, an elementary school teacher in Decatur City Schools. As high school sweethearts they love to travel and try new restaurants together. They have two young children, Olivia and Harrison, which keeps them busy. Tim also loves to cook, play ping-pong, and when he can find the time, go fishing.
