David Ragland is Chief Executive Officer of IRC Wealth, a private asset management company based in Atlanta. Holding both a BBA and a Master's degree in Accounting from the University of Georgia, David began his career in the tax division of Ernst & Young. He then served as CFO for several companies, gaining experience in taking companies public and propelling them on to the INC 500 List of Fastest Growing Companies. While transforming companies, David was also transforming himself from a 200-pound sedentary executive to a top 10th percentile competitor in one of the most demanding races known in sports-The Ironman. As David worked with small businesses as a CFO consultant, his clients frequently asked him to develop a financial plan for their personal investments. He soon realized that his CFO, tax accountant and Ironman-training experience were a winning combination when creating individualized financial plans for clients. A vibrant, energetic speaker, author, businessman and Ironman triathlete, David Ragland understands and articulates the core ingredients that motivate, energize and push people across their personal finish lines.
