C Andrew Millard

I 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. Our entire county has a population of less than 20,000. I'm 51 years old, have been married for 28 years, and have a son who is a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

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).

I have written one book, Low-Stress Investing, which was self-published in 2002 and is available on Amazon.com. It's an investing primer that was written with the purpose of supporting my practice, which it has done very well.
