He Left the Big Firm
Because You Deserved Better.
Porter spent three years inside one of the top financial firms in Tulsa. He was good at the job — but the longer he was there, the harder it got to watch what was happening to small construction companies. They were paying premium prices, getting handed off to someone junior, and getting generic advice that had nothing to do with running a trade business. He saw it over and over.
So he left. He went back to the trades — back to what he knew — and built his own roofing company. Not as a side project. As proof. He knows what payroll stress feels like. He knows what it's like to be waiting on a check while materials are due. When he sits down with a contractor, he's not guessing at what their life looks like.
Porter is a Cherokee Nation member, and that runs deep in how he built this business. He watched too many Cherokee-owned construction companies get ignored or handed to someone who had no idea who they were or what they were building. That's not happening here. Cherokee businesses aren't just welcome — they're the specific reason Porter Financial exists.
More than 40 businesses have trusted him to find the money they were leaving behind, fix what was broken, and build something built to last. He'll give you his real number. He picks up.
