Originally from Jackson, Michigan, Everett Wilkinson has been active in markets since grade school. He grew up reading the works of William F. Buckley, Milton Friedman, and classics such as Cicero. His appreciation of classic culture and free markets have formed Everett into a "Free Market Capitalist" and marketing strategist. However, his time in the Marine Corps has given him a humbling perspective on the true cost of freedom.

In his role, Everett increased market share of the parent company's mutual fund from 14% to nearly 20% in just 3 years. Further, he developed strategic alliances and partnership by adding third-party offerings to handle insurance component, a measure that simultaneously improved agent offerings and increased gross revenue from $1.4 to $4.7m.
Since then, Everett Wilkinson has used his knowledge of both the financial and marketing sectors to develop a career in Marketing Campaign Management. For nearly 5 years, he has been working closely with his clients to become a trusted advisor as a Communication & Marketing Strategist, serving financial and Fortune 500 companies.
