Hollie was recently selected for inclusion in the Marquis Who’s Who biological volumes, recognizing her professional achievements, visibility, and contributions to her field. Currently, Hollie works for The R.O.W Group in Nashville, Tennessee as a licensed financial advisor.
Hollie grew up in Berkeley County, West Virginia, graduating from Musselman High School. This made Shepherd the convenient choice for college, but with the added benefit of receiving a full scholarship, she wanted to start at Shepherd to get her general studies credits out of the way. Her goal was to transfer to a school with a zoology program. Once Hollie fully experienced the Shepherd community, she decided to stay all four years. Hollie graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry.
“The best part of my Shepherd experience was meeting my husband, Bryan,” said Hollie. Bryan Frazier ’13 is a singer-songwriter in Nashville; he graduated from Shepherd with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
Hollie began her career as a zookeeper in North Carolina, specializing in the care and conservation of big cats. She continued this career after her move to Nashville in 2016, where she transitioned to primates and carnivores at the Nashville Zoo.
In 2019, Hollie would begin her transition to the financial industry, joining The R.O.W. Group first as a part-time contributor. Hollie has since dedicated much of her time in learning and honing her skills under a mentor with 52 years of experience. She has worked on complex cases involving estate planning, business continuity, and executive benefits.
Hollie has earned her Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor (CPFA) designation and has been selected to serve on M Financial Group’s Marketing Meeting Program Development Committee (PCD) to help create content and sessions for the annual conference. She also presented on the topic of “Continuing Wealth to the Next Generation” at this same conference.
“One of my accomplishments I am most proud of is implementing systems within our firm to streamline operations, such as a commission tracking system and internal process manuals,” said Hollie.
Over the past two years, Hollie has contributed to adding over $7.4 million in assets under management and generating more than $1.6 million in commissions for the firm.
Within her community, Hollie coaches power lifting for the Special Olympics, is a member of Nashville’s American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) Chapter, which hosts events to raise money for animal conservation and participates in local environmental projects. She also enjoys hiking, kayaking, attending concerts, reading, and crocheting.
The Shepherd University Alumni Association is very proud of Hollie’s accomplishments. Shepherd Students Succeed!
