Abigail Skipper
Financial Advisor & Coach
Disabilities Planner
Abigail Skipper has been passionate about investing since she was 18 years old. Her fascination with the stock market led her to read extensively and research companies to invest in from a young age. After graduating from the University of Florida in 1999, she began her career as a financial specialist for a national bank, passing her Series 6 and Series 63 exams. She later worked with a small stock brokerage in Lakeland, FL, and passed her Series 7 exam.
​
Abigail took a break from her career to raise her children and manage a family business, which fueled her passion for capitalism and business. She remained an avid reader of the Wall Street Journal and a dedicated learner through business and investing podcasts. Her journey led her to a faith-based approach to personal finance, inspired by Dave Ramsey’s teachings.
​
In 2018, after the family business was acquired, Abigail sought a new direction. Following months of prayer and career counseling, and a pivotal conversation with Father Tim, she decided to return to the financial industry. She reached out to Gregg Pacitti, who offered her a position at Ranch Capital. It was a dream come true.
​
Abigail is blessed with a supportive husband, Alan, and four loving daughters: Emily, Katherine, Elizabeth, and Anna Claire. Her daughter Elizabeth’s health challenges have inspired Abigail to become a disability activist at both local and state levels. She hopes to one day establish a nonprofit to offer financial planning for people with disabilities and their families. Abigail's dedication to her family, faith, and clients drives her to excel in her role as a financial advisor and coach.
