Colton, a 2022 graduate of Asbury University, earned his Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Finance through the Dayton School of Business. While at Asbury, Colton co-founded the Eyrie Investment Fund, a student-run investment organization that gives students hands-on experience making real-world investment decisions using donor-supported capital.
After graduation, Colton gained professional experience in banking, sales, and auditing throughout Lexington, Kentucky, before advancing into his current role as an Associate at a financial services firm in Cincinnati, Ohio. He brings a strong foundation in investment banking, finance, and accounting, along with hands-on experience supporting both buy-side and sell-side transactions.
Colton’s employer shared:
“As a graduate of Asbury University, Colton has demonstrated a disciplined and analytical approach to driving results for companies. He is an exceptional leader and communicator who represents the values we strive to live out as an organization daily. We are excited to have Colton join us as we continue to provide elite financial resources to companies in the region to help them scale.”
During my time at Asbury, I developed a clear understanding that faith should be lived out in every aspect of life, including in the marketplace. God used my experience there to reaffirm my calling to use my career in business as a platform to shine Christ’s light and lead with integrity, excellence, and purpose."
The connections, mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities Colton gained through the Dayton School of Business played a key role in preparing him for career success—just four years after graduation. We are incredibly proud of Colton and all he has accomplished.
