“I am pleased to announce that this experienced and respected wealth management team has joined the First Horizon family, which allows us to better serve consumers in the Mid-Atlantic region,” says Terrie Spiro, a regional president of First Horizon. “This new group, in conjunction with our Northern Virginia-based team, is a powerful combination to meet consumer expectations for objective, high-quality financial counsel.”

Phillip Deutsch, head of trust services for First Horizon, will lead the Baltimore-based team from the company's McLean, Va., headquarters.

Gering joins First Horizon as a v.p. and senior trust officer from BB&T in Westminster, Md. Granic will be responsible for analysis and administrative activities in support of portfolio management services. Macklin, who has been a Maryland-based wealth advisor with several financial service providers, is the new team’s business development offer.

First Horizon’s parent, Memphis, Tenn.-based First Horizon National Corporation, provides financial services to individuals and business customers in more than 40 states through First Horizon Bank and its two other major brands, FTN Financial and First Tennessee Bank. –FWR
