He describes his role in working with clients as empowering them to live their version of their best life. Brad’s approach to financial planning seeks to balance prudent planning for long-term lifetime goals while enabling the ability to experience more near-term life-enriching experiences, through an approach he calls Bucket list Living. It seeks to a balance prudent planning for long-term lifetime goals while enabling the ability to experience more near-term life-enriching experiences. Brad’s passion for helping others find balance is evident from the moment he meets them as he listens carefully to their needs, and designs a financial plan in which clients can find fulfillment beyond a monetary amount.

Brad’s approach to financial planning is shaped in by three life-changing events — growing up with a single mother, going through a divorce, and overcoming his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis. These events inspired him to provide advice that’s focused on saving and investing for the future, preparing for the unexpected and having the right team to provide guidance, and lastly, finding ways to help reduce life’s stresses.
