Louis began his career as a financial representative in 1981 with Northwestern Mutual Life. He was drawn to the Financial Services Industry from hearing about the stories of his Grandfather’s early death and the liquidation of the family business due to a lack of proper succession and estate planning

Louis has come a long way since then, gaining more knowledge and experience culminating with little-known alternative strategies and instruments that many successful clients include in their financial plans.

Louis, a proud Grandfather, was born and raised in Guilford County, and has lived and worked in the Carolinas his whole life.  After the UNCC Forty-Niners made their Cinderella run to the Final Four in ’77, he visited Charlotte and loved it so much, he stuck around and in 1981 graduated from UNCC with a BA in Business Administration and a minor in Finance.  He also met his lovely bride, Roxanne, an ECU grad in early Childhood Education and they got married in August 1981.

He attained his CLU^® (Chartered Life Underwriter) designation in 1985 and his ChFC^® (Chartered Financial Consultant) designation in 1991. He brings a holistic approach to business planning and wealth management strategies and has extensive knowledge in the area of business succession strategies, 1031 & 1033 exchanges with DST's, little-known portfolio diversification investments, memory money, and 401k’s.

In September of 2006, Louis joined Thompson Financial Group as a Financial Adviser and Registered Representative, concentrating on Strategic Planning for mid-sized family owned businesses. He developed specialized strategies in Succession and Estate Conservation with industry experience in Independent Pharmacy Owners, Physician and Dental Practices, and Manufacturing.

Louis and Roxanne live in Charlotte and are blessed that their two sons, Patrick and Robert, and their families also live in Charlotte. Their two wonderful sons, born almost exactly 4 years apart are successful in their own right.  Patrick a graduate of UNC, an executive with Brighthouse Financial, is married to his high school sweetheart, Ashley, also a graduate of UNC and graduate of the MAC program at UNC Kenan-Flagler.  They are blessed with twins Ethan & Lily, and little brother Andrew.  Robert a graduate of USC, a practicing attorney with The Law Offices of Ted A. Greve & Associates, is married to his wonderful wife from Florence, SC, Macaira, who is also a graduate from USC and recently named as one of the Great 100 Nurses in North Carolina. In 2021, "Miss Claire" came into the happy couples lives to round out their family.  Both boys are Louis’ favorite golf partners. Regretfully, both can now drive the ball farther than their old man but guess who can chip and putt better.
