Tyler A. Gray, CFP®, CKA®, AIF®
Managing Director & Financial Advisor
Client Focus
While I serve a variety of clients, the folks who typically find my services the most valuable are…
- Working Professionals
- Medical Professionals
- Business Owners
- Faith-based Individuals/Families & Organizations
- Near or Current Retirees
For many of my clients, faith is an important part of their lives, but regardless of their faith background or season of life, clients usually seek me out to delegate the stress and headache that normally come with managing their own financial planning and investment needs.
Professional Experience
I started SageOak® in 2013 and worked primarily as a solo advisor for almost a decade before merging firms in January 2022 with Stan Rickner & Steve Ellis of Seasons Financial Group, LLC which now operates as a “sister” brand/tradename of SageOak.
As an owner, Managing Director, and Financial Advisor at SageOak/Seasons, I help develop and integrate our firm’s long-term vision and strategic plan, as well as provide ongoing financial planning, investment management, and wealth management services to our clients.
I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Accredited Investment Fiduciary® Designee, Certified Kingdom Advisor®, NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor, and former president of the Financial Planning Association of Tulsa.
My formal education includes a Financial Planning Certificate from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL), Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Oklahoma State University (Stillwater, OK), and a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University Indianapolis (Indianapolis, IN).
I work with clients in person and virtually from around the country, and before starting SageOak, I worked remotely with financial advisory firms in Florida and California.

Personal Background
I grew up in a small town in northeastern Indiana and attended college in Indianapolis.
Before entering the financial services industry, I worked briefly in intercollegiate athletics as a college golf and basketball coach at a small Christian college in Kansas.
I currently live in the Tulsa, OK area with my wife, who works part-time as a Physician Assistant. We’ve lost two children in miscarriages over the years, but God has also blessed our family with a rambunctious boy, four sweet girls, and an energetic Cavapoo named Hoosier!
In our community, I currently serve on the board of directors for Classically Formed Inc., which operates Tulsa Classical Academy, Oklahoma’s first public tuition-free classical charter school.
I previously served on the board of directors for Happy Hands Education Center, a local Christian school for children from birth to age 6 who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have other communication disorders.
I have also volunteered with various other local ministries and non-profits over the years, and my family and I are very active in our local church, Grace & Peace (PCA), where I serve as an ordained elder.
For fun, I enjoy playing an occasional round of golf, staying physically active, reading good books, traveling to new places, and enjoying the craziness of raising five kids and a dog!
