A seasoned financial professional with deep roots in the world of finance, Deric Wild brings a lifelong understanding of wealth management shaped by early exposure to the industry. Growing up in a family where financial strategy and business ownership were part of everyday conversation, he developed a strong foundation influenced by his father’s leadership in building and scaling major independent financial firms. This early experience, combined with advanced academic training in Journalism and Finance from the University of Nebraska, helped him build a unique perspective that blends analytical thinking, communication, and financial insight.

After beginning his career in boutique mergers and acquisitions and later advancing into senior corporate banking roles at Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, Deric dedicated his work to supporting business owners with capital strategies, cash flow optimization, and long-term financial planning. In 2025, he joined Raymond James through the AMP program, aligning with a firm he has long respected for its independence and client-first philosophy. Today, he serves as a Financial Advisor focused on helping entrepreneurs grow, protect, and transition their businesses with confidence, combining investment expertise, credit knowledge, and real-world operational experience.
