Southport Capital was founded in 1992 by Abbie Keyes and Don Tomlin with offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Charleston, South Carolina. In 2000 the firm was sold to Livingston Company LLC located in Chattanooga. At that time, the firm added the investment advisors of Curtis W. Seiler and Clay Parker, along with research and support staff. Mr. Keyes retired in 2006, while Mr. Tomlin still maintains the Charleston office. In 2008, Livingston Company sold their majority interest in Southport to Horizon Fund Private Equity III, and at that time opened the Atlanta office with James W. Woods as Chief Investment Officer. Southport currently has two marketing representatives that have joined the team, Mr. David Little and Mr. John Davis. They are based out of the Atlanta office which is located in Monarch Plaza in the Buckhead section of the city.
