HENSSLER FINANCIAL
On February 27, 2014, the Kennesaw State University Department of Athletics and Henssler Financial announced a multi-year agreement that will provide significant financial support to KSU's Department of Athletics and its student-athletes.
"Gene and Pat Henssler are valued friends of Kennesaw State University with a long history of helping students," said Daniel S. Papp, president of Kennesaw State University. "Their gift today is another example of their dedication to student success and the future growth of the University."
Under the terms of the arrangement, Henssler Financial will contribute $525,000 over seven years and will support several leadership and academic initiatives within the Department of Athletics including the renaming of the OWLS Champions Initiative - "OWLS Champions Initiative presented by Henssler Financial."
"Pat and I are truly excited to enter into this partnership with Kennesaw State Athletics. It is my belief that it is imperative to support higher education and sports by investing in our community's future leaders," said Gene Henssler, President of Henssler Financial. "We believe in the outstanding young people who attend Kennesaw State and to be part of this Initiative that benefits the student-athletes is one we are proud to support."
"Educating our student-athletes and preparing them to graduate and acquire a vocation is the number one priority of the Department of Athletics, Kennesaw State Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams said. "Having a partner in Henssler Financial who truly shares in this vision for all students at Kennesaw State could not have been a more perfect fit.
"Pat and Gene have supported these initiatives across campus and we are truly excited to have them join in our mission to continue investing in our student-athletes as they strive to become champions in the classroom, in the community and in competition."
About Henssler Financial
Henssler.comDr. Gene Henssler and his wife, Patricia, moved to Kennesaw, Georgia in May 1986 when Dr. Gene accepted the position of Professor of Finance at Kennesaw State University. A manager for local radio station asked the department chairman at Kennesaw if he knew of someone from academia who could do a talk show about finance, money, and investing, Dr. Gene was suggested.
Dr. Gene started by doing a couple of guest spots with Neal Boortz. Shortly thereafter, he was offered his own show, which provided exposure for Kennesaw State and gave Dr. Henssler a healthy ego boost as a radio personality.
After a couple of weeks, callers began asking Dr. Gene if he would provide advice to individuals, on a consulting basis. G.W. Henssler & Associates, Ltd. (GWH) was created in 1987 to meet this growing interest. What began as a little, part-time consulting business based out of his home, has since evolved into Henssler Financial-one of the largest independent wealth management firms in Atlanta.
