Financial Advisor


Tom grew up in the Tampa Bay area before attending the University of Central Florida, where he graduated with a bachelor of science degree in Finance. He took an interest in financial planning and investments while in college, and made a long term goal of joining his father's practice after getting a few years of industry experience. After graduation he began his career at Franklin Templeton Investments as a Mutual Fund Consultant in St. Petersburg Florida. The role exposed him to the asset management and financial advice industries where he worked directly with advisors from all of the major brokerage firms to help them understand the company's products. 

In 2016 the time was right for Tom to join his father at Peterson Wealth Management. Tom brings a new perspective and continuity to the business. He understands the needs of the next generation and how to use technology to enhance their experience with the firm. He became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional in 2018 and holds the Series 7 & 66 Securities Licenses.

Tom currently lives in Palm Harbor. He enjoys golfing and traveling with his wife, who also works at Raymond James in the corporate headquarters. They live in Palm Harbor with their baby boy Chance, and golden retreiver Tiger.
