Lean into summer.

Even if you don’t have children in school or college anymore, there’s something magic about summertime. After a half a year of keeping the plates spinning, summer offers the promise of a break. Time to pause and enjoy the life you’re working for.

After all, when you’re properly prepared or even properly preparing, you’re better positioned to enjoy your precious time with less stress, worry and regret. Don’t sweat it. Your financial advisor and the rest of your financial team will be ready to dive right back in when you get back.

Meet Nic.

Sumter native and longtime Greenville resident Nic Skey has worked in banking for nearly eight years. In 2024, he joined the team at First Community Financial Consultants. Does his name ring a bell? Perhaps you caught him on one of Charleston’s music stages back in his days as a singer-songwriter performing a set list ranging from rock to folk.

These days his life offers even more to sing about. Nic loves spending time outdoors with his two sons, fishing and playing baseball. Although he’s technically a USC graduate (USC Aiken), you’ll find him cheering on his most favorite team — the Clemson Tigers.
