Noel is a Financial Advisor and Affiliate Partner with 21Five Capital Advisors. His 7-year career in the financial services industry was preceded by 25 years in vocational ministry. After years of experience as a client, Noel developed a desire to help others steward their resources in such a way to accomplish their goals and dreams. In 2018, he stepped out and started what has become a client-centered relational practice and had often partnered with 21Five founder Taylor Wiggins prior to joining their team.

Noel brings to the team a desire and reputation to make sure clients feel connected and in touch whenever they need attention. As an experienced and capable advisor, his years in Christian service have cultivated an approach to business as a Servant-Advisor and connector as well.

As the son of business owners, Noel witnessed firsthand the challenges of closely-held business ownership. He watched as his parents worked each day to grow a successful business while living out the stress of daily life and responsibilities. Planning for retirement, taking care of employees, developing a strategy to one day exit the business, bookkeeping, and tax planning all appeared to be daunting tasks when coupled with handling the day-to-day responsibilities of the business. Watching his parents take on these tasks helped him develop a great appreciation for what is required to handle so many responsibilities at once. This experience has built Noel into an empathetic and understanding advisor who truly appreciates all it takes to run a business with a passion to help those who have the courage and grit to take on such a dream of business ownership.

Noel and his wife of 28 years, Renee, are both graduates of Jacksonville State University and have three children. They are active in their church, serving in multiple capacities. They also support other local ministries by volunteering as well as in other capacities.
