Sam Benson
Senior Financial Planner
Here at Martin Wealth
After being in the financial services world for a decade, I was thrilled to join Martin Wealth Solutions in 2022. I love being part of a high-achieving team that shares my passion for always doing the right thing. Delivering world-class client service where I have real impact on the firm, the team, and helping our clients live their best possible retirements.
Career Highlights
I decided to become a financial advisor after my mom passed away and I met with her advisor. The lack of care and professionalism was shocking but now I realize all too common in our industry. I decided at that time, “There’s got to be a better way to do this.”
After working at Allstate and Morgan Stanley, I came to realize that no other place is quite like Martin Wealth.
As a financial planner at Martin Wealth, I have a deep and personal relationship with our clients. My goal is to care for them how I would have cared for my mother. No one is a number at our firm.
Personal Points of Interest
- Family: I’m a father, a husband, and a son. Watching my daughter ride horses or spending time with my wife and my dad keeps me grounded and happy.
- Roanoke Roots: I was born in Virginia but grew up and went to college in Mississippi.
- My inner caveman: You’ll find me manning the grill, smoker, or fire pit on the weekends trying to cook the perfect steak.
- Hobbies: Perfecting my golf swing or playing the guitar are my passions. Throw in a good cigar and a glass of bourbon with my dog at my side, and all is right with the world
