Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Alex G. Nelson, CFP, CKA I grew up running “Big Al’s Lawn Service,” learning hard work’s value. My family lives in Hillsborough and love faith, family, and the outdoors.

Now, as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I help clients craft strategies for their goals. Growing up, I had a neighborhood lawn mowing business — Big Al’s Lawn Service — and spent weekends and summers learning the value of hard work and elbow grease. I took some of the money I made and asked my mother for the name and phone number of her financial advisor. That’s how I first found myself at Edward Jones, as a client. Now, as a financial advisor with the firm, I believe it's essential that I invest my time to better understand your individual goals and needs before you invest your money with our team. From building the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family to crafting a retirement savings strategy that provides you with options as you retire… My goal is to provide you with an unparalleled client experience. I was awarded the honor of being named to the 2026 Forbes | SHOOK Best-in-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors list for North Carolina. This marks the second consecutive year I have received this recognition.*

I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification and the Certified Kingdom Advisor® designation, all part of my quest to deeply serve investors and business owners. Assisting me in delivering top-notch service to our clients is my dedicated Branch Office Administrator, Annette Adkins. We're stronger together, and we look forward to seamlessly and comprehensively serving our clients' needs for many years to come. I was born, raised and started that little lawn mowing business here in North Carolina and attended High Point University. Now, my wife, Jordan, and I live in Hillsborough. We’re actively involved at The Summit Church, serving in Summit Kids and as small group leaders. We enjoy being outside — working out, boating, fishing, hiking and golfing. We welcomed our first child, a son, in 2023. Before too long, I imagine he’ll be out there mowing the grass, too. Please call the office today at (919) 973-1316 to schedule a complimentary initial consultation.

Thank you to everyone who made the Emergency Chaplains Annual Call to Care Banquet such a meaningful evening!

It was our privilege to support this year’s event as a sponsor and to learn more about the impact Emergency Chaplains has on first responders and their families. The men and women who protect and serve our communities carry tremendous responsibility, and we're grateful for organizations that come alongside them with care, encouragement, and support when it's needed most.

Investing in the people who care for our communities is always time well spent. We were honored to play a small part in that work.

We're grateful for the opportunity to serve our clients and community, and we'd like to introduce the team behind our office.

Alex has spent more than a decade helping individuals, families, and business owners work toward their financial goals with confidence. He remains passionate about building long-term relationships and helping clients navigate life's important financial decisions.

As Branch Office Administrator, Brittaney works alongside Alex as a key partner in our practice. Her leadership, operational expertise, and care for our clients help shape the experience we strive to provide every day.

Jordan leads our branch marketing efforts, helping us stay connected with clients and our community. She works behind the scenes to ensure our communications reflect who we are and what matters most to the people we serve.

Together, we're committed to building meaningful relationships and providing a client experience rooted in trust, personalized service, and genuine care.

Fun fact: Alex, Brittaney, Jordan, and Brittaney's husband Casey all attended High Point University. While we all share a love for HPU, you'll find some friendly rivalry during basketball season. Alex and Jordan cheer for UNC, while Brittaney proudly supports Duke.

We're honored to serve this community and look forward to the relationships still to come.
