Davian Sanner

Director of Client Relations

Davian C Sanner, widely known as just “D”, moved and settled here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2015 after spending her entire life in eastern Ohio.

She has an extensive background in business finance, HR and customer relations.  Before moving to the coast, she and her husband were self-employed for many years within the transportation industry.  After moving, she took a position with a small construction company helping them grow into a multimillion-dollar establishment with over 100+ employees.  She implemented health insurance coverage and 401K plans cementing the futures of owners and employees alike.  She knows what it takes to be dedicated and disciplined to meet goals both personally and in business.

In her spare time, she enjoys her family (most importantly her grandson), fur-babies, holidays, travel, good food and of course football!

Have the heart of a teacher, she is passionate about helping others “win” their financial goals, ultimately giving them confidence for the future.

Contact “D” today and let her schedule an appointment at Gulf Coast Financial Consultants, where long term relationships are built and trusted for you and your family’s future.


Atalie Thornton

Operations Support Specialist

As a highly motivated and organized individual, I am excited to support our financial advisors in delivering exceptional service to clients. With a strong foundation in finance and a passion for helping others achieve financial objectives, I am committed to learning and growing in this role. I exhibit strong communication and interpersonal skills to manage client relationships throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 

I believe everyone deserves financial peace of mind. With a strong family background in finance, I'm dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals. Inspired by my grandparents' financial wisdom, as they grew the small town of Biloxi into what it is today, I'm passionate about empowering others to make informed decisions.
