Ty Kelley, CFP®, Class of 1995, has traveled extensively as a Sound Engineer with Carnival Cruise Lines and freelanced as a Front of House Engineer working with talents such as Kenny Loggins, Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans, Neal McCoy, The Pfeifers, and The Martins. Ty decided to hang up the travel and music and settle down to utilize his Business and Risk Management degree earned at Eastern Kentucky University. After working for a bank and investment firm, Ty finally landed in his current and final stop at Creative Financial Solutions in 2018. His greatest professional achievement is earning the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation which allows him to help people navigate their retirement and financial journey.
As an avid golfer, Ty was a 4-year Varsity Golf Team member at Miami Trace shooting an even par 36 (a school record at the time). He enjoyed making lifelong friendships with students as well as staff members. Some of those friendships have also turned into business relationships. Ty and his wife, Cheri, reside in Washington Court House.
Ty recommends doing what makes you happy and choosing a career that provides fulfillment. Do not base your career decisions on money, vacation time, or what others think you should do. It is your life, your time; chase your dreams, and never give up.
