Dodee brings more than three decades of wealth management experience to client relationships. The daughter of a CEO, she started her career in a family business. She joined Merrill Lynch Wealth Management as a compliance officer and has worked in wealth management since 1990.
Dodee works closely with wealthy clients, including senior corporate executives, to create financial strategies that reflect their personal values, company mission, and commitment to leave a legacy for family and community. Many clients are referred to her by other professionals following life-changing events such as divorce, death of a spouse or unexpected inheritance. Others have sold a business and are entering a new season of life. In addition to providing financial guidance, Dodee can help them connect with opportunities to use their financial and social capital for community impact.
Dodee holds the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® (CAP®) and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) designations. She was named for 11 consecutive years to Barron’s annual list of the “Top 100 Women Financial Advisors in America”1 (most recently in 2016) and for eight consecutive years to Barron’s “Top 1200 Advisors State-by-State (most recently in 2016).”2 She has been featured in numerous publications, including Barron’s, TIME, the Dallas Business Journal and D Magazine. The many awards she has received include the 2016 Philanthropic Leadership Award from the Baylor Healthcare Foundation for promoting wealth stewardship in the community.
A graduate of the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, Dodee received a Master of Theological Studies degree with high honors. Currently, she is vice chair of the school’s executive board. Since 2016, she has served on the board of directors of Public Radio International (PRI) and in 2019, she was invited to join the Women’s Economic Leadership Council of the Texas Women's Foundation. She is also on the advisory boards of The Dallas Foundation and the Texas Women’s Foundation.
Dodee and her husband, producer and recording artist Billy Crockett, own a studio in the Texas hill country where leading musicians have recorded albums and the local community often gathers for concerts and workshops.
