C. Jacob Hodges

Chief Executive Officer and Lead Advisor

A graduate of Western Kentucky University, Jacob holds a degree in Economics and International Business. He began his career as a Turnaround Consultant, working to restructure struggling manufacturing companies on the verge of bankruptcy. Through this work, he recognized a need for the same principles of financial responsibility and goal-oriented planning to be applied at the individual level, which inspired him to transition into a career as a financial professional.

Jacob has a deep passion for travel and adventure, having visited more than 30 countries across five continents. Some of his favorite memories include bungee jumping from the tallest bridge in the world and cage diving with great white sharks in South Africa. His travels have taken him everywhere from an English manor outside London to a ship crossing international waters, yet Middle Tennessee has always been home. Alongside stories of global adventure, Jacob also cherishes memories of walking through the Opryland Hotel at Christmas and tailgating Titans games as a lifelong fan. While attending WKU, he met his now-wife, Jordan. Together, they’ve made Nashville their home and look forward to a lifetime of memories in Middle Tennessee.

Growing up as an athlete, Jacob understands the value of a well-organized team and believes that a unified group can accomplish more—and at a higher quality—than any individual working alone. This belief is part of what inspired him to create Hodges Financial Group. The firm’s team-based approach to financial planning ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and that every client receives exceptional service.

Sports also instilled in Jacob an appreciation for technical expertise and continuous learning. He is committed to staying current with the latest financial data and planning strategies. He pursued and earned the prestigious CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification to further enhance his expertise. His dedication to daily study, along with participation in professional conferences and seminars, allows him to provide thoughtful, up-to-date guidance to clients.

Jacob is passionate about helping individuals and families use their resources as tools for achieving financial goals and planning for the future. By combining his knowledge of investment philosophy with his love of travel and life experiences, he strives to help clients reach their goals while ensuring their wealth becomes a meaningful vehicle for living a full and rewarding life.
