Deborah Frazier, the Chief Compliance Officer, started FFC in 1986 with a desire to advise clients without the selling of products. She did not know at that time that Fee-Only financial planning was in its infancy.
Deborah has been quoted in many financial publications, including but not limited to: Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Smart Money, Money Magazine, Kiplinger, Bloomberg Wealth Management, Golf Magazine and Triangle Business Journal. She has participated in Kiplinger's Jump Start your Retirement program as well as their online question and answer segments. She received a BS from the University of Rochester, New York and an MBA from Meredith College.
Outside of working, Deborah likes to travel with her husband, play Mah Jongg and bridge with her girlfriends, and dote on her six grandchildren.
Richard is the sole LLC owner. He joined Frazier Financial Consultants as a Financial Assistant in 2003 after graduating Appalachian State, and became a Financial Planner in 2006. Rich strongly believes in a comprehensive approach to financial planning. Solving the unique puzzle of each client’s individual needs and goals is what drives his passion for financial planning.
He received his CFP designation in 2006, and is currently a member of FPA (Financial Planning Association) and NAPFA (National Association of Personal Financial Advisors). Rich has been quoted in Golf Magazine and has participated in Kiplinger Jumpstart Your Retirement online program as well as their popular online question and answer segment.
He currently lives with his wife and two children in Chapel Hill, NC. Before Financial Planning, Rich spent a year on a minor professional golf tour, and still enjoys spending his (rare) free time on the course.
