About Carter Robinson
About Carter Robinson

I first started investing in high school. My dad taught me at a young age to invest and keep investing. I took an economics class where we “played” a stock market game. Everyone in the class put in $40, and the teacher let them trade stock for the year. Whoever made the most money that year won the game. I remember investing in Sunglass Hut and won the game. From there, I was hooked and have loved investing ever since!

 

That was 30 years ago now. I have learned much more about my passion, investing, and people. I no longer “play” the stock market as a game, but I use it as a tool for you to reach your financial goals and dreams. I have spent the majority of my life serving people and helping them get to where they want to be. I have also received my Doctorate of Ministry and become a certified life and leadership coach.

 

My goal is to help you pursue your financial goals and feel more informed about the decisions you're making. Not sure what your financial goals are yet? No problem! I will sit down with you and help you create your goals, dreams, and partner with you on a strategy to help make them happen!

 

I will help you navigate important financial decisions so you can focus on the things that matter most to you. What would it mean to have greater clarity around your finances, future, and goals? I am here to serve you, listen, and help you reach your goals and dreams. 

When I'm not Carter the Financial Advisor
When I'm not Carter the Financial Advisor

Outside of helping clients prepare for the future, Carter's greatest joy is spending time with his wife, Kristin, their children, and their golden retriever, Joy. Family is at the center of everything he does, and many of his favorite memories are made outdoors together.


Whether they're hiking, enjoying a day at the beach, spending time on the lake, boating, water skiing, or simply exploring new adventures as a family, Carter values experiences that bring people together. He and Kristin are also avid scuba divers and enjoy opportunities to travel and explore beneath the surface whenever they can.


Ask Carter what he enjoys most outside of work, and his answer is simple: making memories with the people he loves. At this stage of life, he happily embraces the activities, adventures, and traditions that his children enjoy, knowing these seasons pass quickly and the memories last a lifetime.


Faith and service are also important parts of Carter's life. He and his family are actively involved in their church and enjoy serving alongside local ministries and community organizations. They recently had the opportunity to volunteer at FamilyLife's Weekend to Remember event in Myrtle Beach, an experience that reinforced their passion for strengthening families and investing in their community.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, and every time I see a photo like this, I'm reminded why this work matters. At its core, life insurance isn't about policies, paperwork, or numbers. It's about the people who count on you. It's about making sure that if life doesn't go according to plan, the people you love most still have support, stability, and opportunities ahead of them. As parents, spouses, grandparents, and caregivers, we spend so much of our time looking out for those around us. Life insurance is simply one more way we can do that. It's an act of love that extends beyond today and helps protect the future of the people who matter most. The truth is, none of us know what tomorrow holds. But we can take steps today to help ensure our families are cared for no matter what comes next. If you've had a recent life change, welcomed a child, changed jobs, purchased a home, or simply haven't reviewed your coverage in a while, Life Insurance Awareness Month is a great reminder to revisit your plan. Because protecting the people you love isn't just a financial decision. It's one of the most meaningful decisions you'll ever make. ❤️ #LifeInsuranceAwarenessMonth #ProtectWhatMattersMost #FamilyFirst #LifeInsurance #FinancialPlanning #Thrivent #FamilyProtection #ProtectYourFamily #FinancialConfidence Required Disclosure: Insurance products issued or offered by Thrivent.
