Brian believes that the most successful retirement plans are developed by listening to and understanding each client’s goals and risk levels and educating and explaining choices to customize a long-term plan and make minor adjustments over time. He helps business owners offer attractive and compliant benefit plans, individuals invest for a comfortable retirement, and families ensure that they are prepared for future generations and milestones. Brian has experience in comprehensive financial services, including retirement planning and the implementation of tax efficient strategies, which gives him the ability to understand what matters most to clients to meet their specific needs. He has also completed coursework to earn the Professional Plan Consultant™ designation and has expertise in group retirement planning.

An active member of the community, Brian is a board member, and has served as President for the local Kiwanis Club and volunteers at the summer camp and retreat, Amigo Centre. When he is not in the office, he’s working on the farm where he grew up and that his family now calls home. Brian and his wife, Rachel, live in Sturgis with their children, Carter, Madelyn, Lyza, and Ellyn. He keeps busy golfing, playing softball, coaching baseball, and basketball teams, helping with 4H projects, and playing cards with friends and family.
