Meet Kemp Cunningham

Kemp Cunningham, MBA, CFP®

Owner & Wealth Advisor

Kemp’s interest in finances started long before mass market financial planning was a thing. When he was about 14, he began reading the Wall Street Journal in the high school library during lunch. As the advent of trading online began, Kemp was buying and selling stocks through their dial up modem in his family’s basement. This fueled his desire to understand the stock market and how to plan well for the future. Kemp became an advisor in 2012 and then ventured out to establish Emerald River Wealth Management in 2023. Funny story: At the senior prom after prom party (Kemp is only 18 at this time), Kemp won the grand prize of $500. When asked what he’d do with the money, he responded, “I’ll use it to buy some stocks”.
