I enjoy meeting new people and I hope that includes you very soon. I learned a lot about this business from my father. He spent over 40 years in business, 20 of which I was by his side. Many referred to my Dad as a math genius, building his own calculators and spreadsheets long before Microsoft existed. People were impressed with all the calculations he could do in his head. What I found more impressive was his ability to communicate with people. He could filter complex problems into simple, funny stories with easy-to-understand solutions. I still use many of Dad’s old software tools and calculators. Dad passed away in 2008 and he took the math genius with him. But he left with me a love of people and the ability to make the complex simple.
In working together I will tell you stories and use parables that I heard him tell many years ago. I hear him thru my words and the message is just as strong and powerful today as ever before. When I’m not enjoying time with clients, you’ll find my three boys and me at my wife’s family ranch in North East Texas. Our weekends there are filled with running cattle and building fences. My boys are growing up. My oldest is an Aggie and my middle son is headed that way this fall. My youngest is still kind enough to let me coach his baseball team and enjoy his competitive spirit. My bride of 23 years runs our home and graciously allows us to think “The Boys” are in charge. As you can tell, my family is important to me. They give me meaning and purpose and they help clarify what is most important in life. I know you feel the same about yours. When you walk through our doors you become one of the family.
Thank you for getting to know a bit about me! I hope to meet you very soon as well. Thinking about your money should probably be at the top of your “To Do” list, but you find lots of other distractions that are more fun and exciting. That’s where I come in. I make the money conversations refreshing and enjoyable. You see, after over 20 years of helping folks plan for their financial future I have learned that it’s not about money at all. It’s about your dreams and goals, your kids and grandkids. It’s about your dignity and self-reliance. It’s about your legacy.
When I earned my business degree from Baylor (a double major in Financial Services/Planning and Insurance Studies) I was taught to focus on the math and the numbers. So, of course, we will look at all of the details, and we are really good at that part of the process. But, we are also really good at focusing beyond the numbers. We are really good at focusing on you.
When I think about my own personal financial planning, I don’t see numbers. I see my Baylor sweetheart of over 20 years. I see our 4 kids. I see dance recitals and cheerleading competitions with my two girls. I see baseball and basketball games with my two boys. And, coming very soon, I see Baylor tuition bills!! I see a future of what could be.
What do you see? If you are like me, you see everything but the numbers. I focus on your numbers so you can focus on everything else.

Mark J. Orr, CFP® RICP® is a north metro Atlanta Certified Financial Planner™, Retirement Income Certified Professional® and a fee-based Investment Advisor Representative who firmly believes that people should not take an ounce more risk than they need to in order to reach their retirement income goals… nor should they pay a dime more in taxes than the I.R.S. dictates. In fact, if someone thinks that taxes are going to go higher over the next 5, 10, 20 years, he believes they should strive to get to the ZERO percent tax bracket in retirement.
His work all starts with teaching folks about the 3 buckets of risk and the 3 tax buckets. As to reducing risk, he uses both actuarial science and private wealth managers who will go to cash when markets get rocky to protect his client’s savings. As to striving to paying ZERO income taxes in retirement, he takes advantage of every IRS regulation to pay as little future taxes as the law requires.
He puts all of those philosophies, financial strategies and tools together to design a fully personalized “retirement income road map”. It’s a year-by-year income plan that combines pensions, Social Security filing strategies and a mix of insurance and investment strategies to maximize lifetime after-tax net income and reduces investment risk to the lowest amount needed.

It sounds cliché I know, but helping people has always been a passion of mine. I grew up in a suburban lifestyle with a twist of farm life. Both of my parents grew up on family farms and because family is a value to us, I had the privilege of spending much time on those farms. The influence of farm-life along with depression generation grandparents, making wise financial decisions was taught early in life.
My journey has been in small business, corporate America and for the past 17 years in the financial services industry as an advisor.
I view myself as a financial coach/mentor that focuses on teaching and empowering clients to make stronger financial decisions based upon economic facts rather than opinions. My goal is to help create and preserve wealth for individuals and families, providing them with a lifetime strategy to help them gain financial control of their lives and to reach their financial goals and dreams. Each one of us has a “money story”. My role is to discover your story.
While not focusing my energy on clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband riding motorcycles, bicycles, exercising, traveling, reading and cooking. My two adult sons and daughter-in-law live in Texas and a step-daughter in Minnesota.
I have five core values that guide me professionally and personally. Those values are faith, family, health, integrity and making a difference. These core values reflect how I work with my clients and the civic organizations that I’m involved with. I’m an active member of Eagle Brook Church, volunteering in my community with organizations such as Rotary and Union Gospel Mission.

While retirement planning is a priority for most clients, it isn’t the only one, nor does it need to be. With a properly structured financial plan, major capital expenditures such as children’s education or a new (or second) home don’t have to drain, or even substantially reduce, retirement savings. Let Dwayne show you how.
