David Sanderlin joined Waverly Advisors in October 2025 as an Operations Associate. He holds Series 7 and Series 66 licenses and earned his B.A. in English Literature from Auburn University. Prior to entering the financial services industry, David spent ten years in hospitality—five of those at a Colorado resort and three managing farm-to-table restaurants in Kentucky. During this time, he discovered a passion for personal finance, often mentoring colleagues on financial fundamentals and helping them build a foundation for long-term success.
Outside the office, David enjoys cooking, playing chess, writing poetry, and picking the banjo. He and his wife are avid international travelers and active members of Redeemer Community Church, where David leads a men’s group and volunteers with Haven of Hope, a global orphan care initiative.
A proud supporter of the Auburn Tigers and Denver Broncos, David’s wardrobe features plenty of orange and blue. And for a fun twist—he’s also a skilled cattle wrangler on horseback, thanks to his years spent out west.
