Meet Barry Kemp, a seasoned financial advisor with a passion for building meaningful connections and helping individuals pursue their goals. Barry's journey into the world of finance began with a fascination for investing and the power of compound interest during his high school years in Fort Myers, Florida. Realizing the impact smart financial decisions could have on his future, he set out to make a difference in people's lives.

Driven by a desire to prioritize relationships over transactions, Barry chose to be an advisor after graduating from Florida State in 1993.  With over 30 years in the industry, he has hired and trained numerous successful financial advisors, influenced organizations and built long-lasting friendships that reached far beyond the scope of traditional client relationships. In recent years, Barry has shifted his focus to providing more personalized experiences for his clients by launching Kemp Capital Advisors with his best friend and partner Kelly McClain. 

Beyond the financial realm, Barry is an avid golfer, spending most weekends on the golf course. He and his partner, Kelly, are self-proclaimed food enthusiasts, delighting in exploring new restaurants and immersing themselves in the vibrant food scenes of different cities. When Barry isn’t busy with these activities, you can find him hanging out with his mini goldendoodle, Brody.

Barry's approach to both life and financial planning can be best reflected by his favorite quote from Winston Churchill, "Fear is a reaction, courage is a decision." He accredits this mindset as to why he has been able to experience success in the financial services industry.
