Scott D. Walker

As an independent Financial Planner and Family Wealth Counselor, Scott’s philosophy is simple:  “Most people are really looking for someone they can trust to always do the right thing, and to be an engaging and reliable friend who won’t just tell them what they want to hear, or take advantage of the relationship.”  Scott takes his client responsibilities seriously, and he continuously strives to develop a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of his clients' ever evolving financial concerns and needs. 

Prior to joining Horizon in 2011, Scott served as a Regional Bank Private Banker for both Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo Advisors in Winston-Salem. An expert in insurance and investment products and with more than two decades of experience supporting individuals and businesses, Scott has built a strong professional reputation for his commitment to helping others achieve financial success. He’s a teacher at heart and loves to help his clients learn about the financial solutions that suit their individual needs.

Scott was born and raised in Winston-Salem. His wife, Cheryl, likes to tease him, claiming that “Walkers never leave Forsyth County,” which isn’t a stretch since his family history dates back to the original settlers of Bethania. The proud father of two wonderful daughters, Rebecca and Samantha, Scott is actively committed to our community.
