Kevin R. Wagner
President/Financial Advisor
President and Founding Partner Kevin Wagner has four decades of knowledge and experience helping clients make informed decisions about their insurance and retirement needs. He feels blessed to have had the opportunity to assist clients and friends with their personal and business financial needs, and insurance needs, throughout his career. He has also enjoyed developing and mentoring many other financial professionals along the way.
Kevin began his career in insurance and financial services with Prudential Ins. & Financial as an agent in 1976. He later transitioned into roles in management, teaching, recruiting, and sales training, eventually reaching his goal of becoming a Regional Vice President.
In 2002, he joined Nationwide Insurance as a Regional Financial Sales Director, helping property and casualty agents support the financial needs of their top clients. In 2008, he bought his first Nationwide agency in Jacksonville, North Carolina. He was recognized as one of the top Financial Agencies with Nationwide Securities until they allowed a change of broker-dealers in June 2018. At that time, he chose to align with the independent broker-dealer Cambridge Investments based on shared value to integrity, commitment, flexibility, and kindness.
Together with Founding Partner Jasen Hedrick, Kevin built ArrowStar Financial with the goal of providing financial products and services in new and better way for his clients, friends, and professional partners and associates. His client-centric approach is based on listening to his clients’ individual needs and offering a wider variety of financial planning tools, products, and services to meet those needs, while allowing those clients to do business in the manner they desire.
Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife of 40+ years, Peggy, and gardening and landscaping at home and around the office. He loves to go deep sea fishing whenever possible, and occasionally golfs (he says losing as many golf balls as he does helps the economy). He also enjoys tailgating at NC State football games and watching Ohio State Buckeyes football games. Born in Ohio, Kevin now splits his time between his Raleigh and Jacksonville offices in North Carolina. Believes strongly in giving back providing for Charities like the Salvation Army, St Jude, Wounded Warriors, CHEW and many others.
