BIP Wealth, recently named in the top 3 on Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2025 Best Places to Work List for medium-sized companies, is proud to welcome the addition of former Georgia Tech Baseball Coach Danny Hall as Vice President of Strategic Growth. Hall joins other Georgia Tech Alums at the firm, including BIP Co-Founders, Bill Harris and Mark Buffington.

Hall has long been connected to BIP Wealth, first through Randy Carroll, BIP’s Chairman, and has coached a total of 5 current BIP team members over the years who played baseball at Georgia Tech (Michael Sorrow, Kyle Schmidt, Chase Murray, Drew Byers, and John Giesler). Hall and his family have been clients of BIP’s Baseball Division since 2007 and had the privilege of having Jim Poole as their Personal Wealth Advisor before he succumbed to ALS in 2023.

“There was not a better human being on the face of the earth than Jim Poole,” said Hall.  “He managed my family’s money and we never had to worry about a thing. We always knew we were getting the utmost care from Jim and the entire team at BIP Wealth and that has seamlessly continued on since Jim’s passing.”

During his career, Hall racked up 1,452 wins across 38 seasons as a head coach of which 32 seasons were spent at Georgia Tech. He ranked 10th in NCAA Division I history in career wins before deciding to step away from coaching after the 2025 season. While at Georgia Tech, Hall guided the team to 7 ACC regular-season championships, 5 ACC Tournament titles, 24 NCAA Tournament berths and 3 College World Series. Across 32 seasons, Hall saw 146 players selected in the Major League Draft, with 41 going on to play in the major leagues.

“Once I decided to retire, I wanted to pursue something that would keep me around the sports world and allow me to continue helping people like I did as a coach,” said Hall. “Joining the team at BIP Wealth was a natural transition and next step for me. I feel like a rookie all over again learning all about the possibilities BIP can create to help take care of our clients.”

Hall will be working alongside not only BIP’s Baseball Division, but all the other Advisors at the firm to help grow new business.

“As an Alumni of Georgia Tech Baseball myself, having Coach Hall join the team at BIP Wealth is an honor,” shared Co-Founder and CEO, Bill Harris, CFP®. “Watching the care and guidance that Danny has given to his players over the years, I have no doubt he will do the same for new clients at BIP in his new role. As BIP continues to grow our presence across the Southeast, I’m excited to have Danny representing the BIP brand everywhere he goes.”

Hall lives in Alpharetta with his wife of 32 years, Kara. They have two sons, Colin and Carter. Carter interned at BIP Wealth in the Baseball Division while he attended Georgia Tech. Both sons played baseball at Georgia Tech and still live in the Atlanta area.
