“After extensive due diligence, we were drawn to Raymond James for its culture of independence. We believe that this partnership will provide the best opportunity for us to serve our clients’ unique needs and objectives how we see fit,” Nate Pendill said in a statement.

Nate Pendill has 22 years of experience, having started at Edward Jones in 2001. BJ Pendill started at Edward Jones in 2002.

The team includes a branch office manager, Karen Brooks, and staffers Denise Aspin, Leigh Ann Perdue and Rebekah Pendill.
