Kyle Blackwell, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professional and Founding Partner of Purpose Wealth Management, brings over 17 years of experience to help clients achieve their financial goals. Holding the prestigious CFP^® certification, widely regarded as the gold standard in personal financial planning, Kyle combines deep knowledge with a client-centered approach. He has been honored by Forbes as a Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisor in 2024 and a Best-in-State Wealth Advisor in 2025.

Kyle’s journey to become a financial advisor began his freshman year of high school. While sitting in a career planning class, the teacher asked each student what they wanted to be when they grew up. When it was his turn, Kyle answered, “I want to be a stockbroker!” His journey continued into his college years at Southern Wesleyan University.

While at SWU, Kyle co-founded an investment club and began interning at a myriad of financial planning firms. The investment club further enhanced his passion for investing, but more importantly, the internships made him realize the tremendous impact financial advisors can have on the lives of the clients they serve. After graduating magna cum laude with degrees in both business and accounting, Kyle began his career as a financial advisor.
Throughout his career, Kyle has endeavored to create meaningful relationships with a select group of clients and provide them with personalized financial planning advice using some of the industry’s most comprehensive resources. He worked 12 years with Edward Jones, and he now employs the vast resources of Raymond James, one of the largest independent financial services firms in the nation, to bring the right expertise and tailored financial strategies designed to pursue his clients’ specific needs.

His investment process takes into account your investing experience, your expectations for returns, your tolerance for risk and the performance of your portfolio. Based on what he learns about you and your goals and an analysis of the current financial markets, Kyle designs a customized investment portfolio made solely with your best interest in mind. He then takes the time to explain his recommendations and, once you are comfortable with your new plan, Kyle puts it into action.

Kyle is a member of Foothills Church and serves on the board of directors of Collins Family Ministries.

Kyle’s wife, Sonya, has been with him throughout the entire journey (yes, even his freshman year of high school). Together with their two children, Blaire and Keegan, they enjoy exercising, sports, and outdoor activities.
