We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate Jay and Hilde Dryden, who were among the honorees at the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville 17th Annual Summit on Philanthropy held this past Tuesday!

At Vector, we believe that making a difference goes beyond what we do professionally. It’s about how we serve others, care for our community, and put our values into action. Jay and Hilde are a wonderful example of what it looks like to live their faith through generosity and service, and we love seeing them recognized for the impact they make in the lives of others.

Congratulations, Jay and Hilde! We’re incredibly proud of you both and grateful for the example you set for all of us at Vector and throughout our community.

VectorNEXT has been busy this fall!

Over the past few weeks, our team has had the opportunity to connect with students at the University of Alabama and Freed-Hardeman University, sharing more about Vector, our internship program, and the possibilities of a career in financial planning.

At the University of Alabama, Paige Armstrong, Josh Jordan, and Marshall Dearing attended the Financial Planning Association mixer and career fair. Paige, a former VectorNEXT intern herself, loved getting to meet students interested in the program and hear more about their interests and what is drawing them toward financial planning.

“I really enjoyed hearing about their interests and passions, and what’s driving them toward a career in financial planning.”

We also had the opportunity to return to Freed-Hardeman University for our annual VectorNEXT Preview Event. Senior Partner Marshall Dearing shared:

“Our hope through this event is to show the tremendous opportunity for young people as they enter into the financial services industry and make a lasting impact in their communities, churches, families, and beyond.”

The day included candid conversations about life as an advisor, an inside look at Vector, and the opportunity to hear from one of our industry partners about their role in financial services.

We’re grateful for every opportunity to meet students, hear their stories, answer their questions, and help them explore what a career in financial planning could look like.

We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation!

We’re thrilled to welcome Paige Armstrong to the Vector Wealth Strategies team as our new Wealth Management Analyst!

A graduate of Auburn University with a degree in Finance and Marketing, Paige first joined us as a virtual intern in Fall 2025 and we’re so glad to now have her on the team full-time.

Paige will support our Senior Advisors with client research, analysis, and financial planning while continuing to grow her expertise and build meaningful client relationships.

Outside of work, Paige enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring nature on long walks, playing pickleball, and discovering new restaurants and coffee shops.

Welcome to the team, Paige! We’re so happy you’re here!

Celebrating Marshall Dearing’s Promotion to Partner!

We are excited to announce that Marshall Dearing has become a partner at Vector Wealth Strategies!

Marshall’s journey with Vector began as a college student through our VectorNEXT internship program. After completing his internship, he joined our team full-time in 2020 as an Associate Advisor. Over the past six years, Marshall has grown from a young advisor learning the business into a CFP® professional, Senior Advisor, and now an owner of the firm.

“Marshall is exactly the kind of person we had in mind when we began building a path from internship to ownership at Vector,” says Jay Dryden, Managing Partner. “We wanted to create a place where talented young people could come in, learn our business, develop relationships with clients, grow as leaders, and eventually have the opportunity to own part of what they helped build. Marshall has done every bit of that.”

Throughout his career at Vector, Marshall has distinguished himself through his commitment to clients, his continued professional growth, and his ability to build meaningful relationships. He has also embraced the values that have shaped our firm from the beginning: working hard, playing hard, and making a difference. Outside of Vector, Marshall serves on the Board of Directors for Community of Hope and continues to find ways to invest in the community around him.

Marshall’s promotion is an exciting milestone for him, but it also represents something bigger for Vector. With both Marshall and Nick Jackson beginning their careers through VectorNEXT and now becoming owners of the firm, we are seeing our vision of developing the next generation of Vector leadership become reality. “We aren’t simply trying to build a firm that lasts for the careers of its founders,” Jay added. “We want to build something that can continue serving families and making a difference for generations. Watching Marshall grow from an intern into a partner makes me incredibly optimistic about where Vector is headed.”

We are proud of Marshall, grateful for everything he has already contributed to Vector and our clients, and excited to have him joining our ownership team. Please join us in congratulating Marshall on this well-deserved achievement!
