Cayce joined Thompson & Associates in 1999 (then TrustMark Charitable Strategies) and now serves as President working from the national headquarters in Nashville. Cayce provides leadership and direction to each division of Thompson & Associates.
Studying finance at Abilene Christian University fit perfectly with Cayce’s interest in numbers, love of solving problems, and appreciation for business. Cayce then earned his Master of Business Administration and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Texas Tech University. His coursework focused on taxation and business entities. As a young attorney, he learned the importance of listening to the client and paying attention to details.
In 1999, Cayce and his family moved to Tennessee, where he partnered with Eddie Thompson. In addition to working with his own nonprofit clients, he soon became the lead estate planner, working with organizations, individuals, and attorneys across the country. When the company was restructured in 2004, Cayce assumed a greater leadership role as president.
Currently, Cayce is highly involved in every aspect of Thompson & Associates. He has led the integration of technology into the planning process, including cloud-based workflow for increased efficiency and communication.
Cayce lives in Brentwood, Tennessee with his wife, having launched their four children. In his spare time, Cayce enjoys playing tennis and exercising.
