C Andrew MillardI live in Columbus, NC and commute a whopping eight minutes each day to my business, Main Street Financial Group, in the nearby town of Tryon.

As a financial planner, I serve a clientele of mostly retired professionals. In a former life, I was a school teacher and principal. In my free time, I enjoy writing, public speaking, and travel (I've been sailing in the Bahamas six times, and for my 50th birthday I took a group of buddies to New Mexico for a week on a cattle ranch).
