Desmond Blue is a Senior Wealth Advisor who helps individuals, families, business owners, and athletes make sense of complex financial decisions and build strategies around the lives they want to lead. His approach starts with understanding what matters most to each client, then developing personalized strategies across retirement planning, portfolio construction, risk management, and broader wealth planning.
“Money matters, but its purpose matters even more. People matter most.”
Desmond’s interest in financial advice was shaped by experiences far beyond the traditional path into wealth management. Growing up in a military family taught him discipline and adaptability. Later, while playing professional basketball on five continents, he saw firsthand how money can create opportunity, but also how quickly it can become a source of stress without sound guidance. That perspective inspired him to become an advocate for people navigating important financial decisions.
Prior to joining Power Wealth Management, Desmond built more than a decade of experience helping clients navigate complex financial decisions at Merrill and Fidelity Investments, two of the world’s largest financial services firms. Throughout his career, he has developed extensive experience in financial planning, investment management, and retirement strategies. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Lee University and an MBA with an emphasis in finance from Liberty University. Desmond holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification, and the Sports & Entertainment Accredited Wealth Management Advisor™ designation.
Desmond and his wife, Jill, live in Canton, Georgia. Outside of work, he enjoys playing drums, traveling, cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs, and serving his community through City of Refuge and faith-based organizations.
