George “Lisle” Cheatham, (CFF) Certified Financial Fiduciary, was raised in Greensburg, KY and life has given him the opportunity to serve his clients, his State, and his community in a number of capacities through the years.  But the values and traditions of small town Kentucky always led him back home. It’s this same sense of service that has become a cornerstone of George’s own business. George is a practicing licensed financial representative with NEXT Financial Group, Inc. based in Houston, TX and owner of American Financial Consultants, Inc.  Through honest, informed advice and personalized attention, George works to help improve his client’s lives. George focuses his practice on financial needs of small business owners, retirees and pre-retirees as they position themselves and their families for a successful retirement future. After graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1989 with degrees in both economics and political science, George went to work with Wall Street based investment firm, First Investors Corporation, where he quickly rose to District Manager.  In 1991 he started his own independent financial services company, American Financial Consultants, Inc., a company he is proud to lead today. George has served on several local and statewide boards such as Leadership Kentucky, Inc. and his local Rotary Club.  Today, he continues to serve on the board of directors of several local and regional organizations – the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, the Kentucky League of Cities, the State of Kentucky Local Distribution Fund Oversight Committee and the Greensburg Housing Authority – just to name a few. Through his strong support for education he has also served on the Board of Directors and chairman of the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.  George has also been honored to serve as Mayor of his hometown of Greensburg for four consecutive terms beginning in 2003. George has one daughter, Eva Michelle Cheatham, a graduate of the University of Kentucky Law School and current chief staff attorney for the 28th Judicial District of Kentucky.
