Debra’s career in the financial industry has spanned over 28 years. From passing her exams at Emory University to her start with IDS American Express, when it was still known as Investors Syndicate which was the first company to introduce mutual funds to the investing world. Longing to expand her career and broaden her horizons using her financial background, she partnered with NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton in his financial management company. After several years of travel and investing for some very influential people, she longed to return to work closer to home and family. During this time her 19 year old son joined the Navy and Debra saw a need to help veterans receive aid and assistance from the VA. After working with veterans and retirees she realized she loved working with retirees and had a passion for helping them keep their hard earned money and helping them invest in areas where their money could grow safely and provide them with better financial security. This inspired her to start her own business and Secure Health and Wealth was born.
