Meet Your Team

SafeWater Investment Management was founded in late 2023 by Owen Blank and Craig Jennings, former Division 1 athletes and teammates on the University of Georgia Swimming and Diving team. After successful careers at major financial institutions, they recognized an opportunity to create something different—a boutique wealth management firm that combines institutional-level expertise with genuinely personal service.

The disciplines that shaped Owen and Craig as collegiate athletes continue to drive SafeWater’s approach to wealth management. Just as they learned to push through challenging training sessions and support each other toward shared victories in the pool, they bring that same collaborative spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence to serving their clients.

The athletic background that shaped both founders goes beyond mere metaphor—it’s fundamental to how SafeWater operates. The discipline required to wake up at 5 AM for practice, the ability to perform under pressure, and the understanding that consistent, focused effort leads to extraordinary results are principles that directly translate to building and protecting wealth.
