Bio

Jay lives in Brentwood, TN with his wife Alexis and their 5 children: Abigail, James, Wallace, Graves and Ellis. In addition to spending time with his family – his greatest joy – Jay enjoys staying active and exercising, traveling, reading, and finding as many ways as possible to enrich his life and stay happy and healthy. It is this holistic approach to living his best life that became the inspiration behind Legacy Law Group. Jay wanted to create an estate planning, asset protection and trust administration experience that is so much more than creating and executing documents. This process should be first and foremost, about family, creating harmony and bringing peace around such a delicate topic. Jay truly enjoys getting to know the families he works with and is grateful for the opportunity to connect with such a wide array of inspiring people.

Fun fact about Jay – in 2020 he took a motorcycle trip through Death Valley! Riding through the day and night, camping out under the stars, and disconnecting from the outside world to spend time finding inspiration within.
