Our Story

Who we are

Being in the flight path of Georgetown Airport means hearing planes overhead throughout the day. It is a fond reminder to Jeffrey Cartledge, whose grandfather was a World War II pilot. It is also a great analogy for life. Much like flying requires a watchful eye and careful planning, Glide Path and their crew of financial professionals work together to create a unique financial plan to help keep you moving in the right direction toward your chosen destination.

What we do

Our team takes a total look at your situation, needs, interests and goals. We provide dedicated planning services to help you plan out a course of action to meet those goals in a way that aligns with your values.

What we believe

We want to take the stress out of wealth management. We believe that every client, family, and organization is unique, and every situation comes with its own set of financial concerns. Our holistic approach provides the direction and path of your next steps, so you can live more generously.

With more than 10 years of experience, Jeff focuses on making the complex world of financial planning and investment management easy to understand. “I feel it is important to take the time and listen to my clients needs, wants, and wishes”.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Jeff calls Georgetown home with his wife Lizzie and two kids JJ and Isabella. When he's not in our Georgetown and Harlingen offices, Jeff is active in the Georgetown Rotary Club, or you can find him on the local trails running or mountain biking.
