Hi! I’m Brad. I’m originally from Massachusetts and after a short stint in Washington, D.C. and an extended stay in California, I’ve come full circle back to the Bay State. I’m a competitive sprint triathlete, avid boater, music enthusiast, financial planner, and entrepreneur. As a Founding Partner of Launch Financial Planning, I’m committed to deeply understanding clients’ goals, and I lead the process of researching, planning, and implementing to achieve them. I’m also a frequent guest speaker for Fortune 500 companies and often serve as a financial expert for Boston’s ABC affiliate WCVB-TV, and Mix 104-1's New England Lifestyles show. While growing up I was always interested in music and finance (which I recognize now is an interesting combination). I took the radio route to California for two decades, enjoying entertaining and educating listeners and providing an escape from daily life. After successful roles as a television host and on-air personality with ABC, NBC, and CBS Radio, in 2007 I began my transition to financial planning. With the vivid memory of my parents’ differing ideas around money and their limited knowledge about goal-based financial management, I wanted to understand the finance world better and become self-sufficient with my own finances. As television and radio continued to change and feel less fulfilling, I went back to school and completed the Personal Financial Planning curriculum at UCLA and passed the CFP® exam in 2010. Now, instead of helping people escape their lives, I partner to guide people in fully enjoying their lives – their way. My experience and approach enable me to easily connect and build authentic relationships with clients to collaboratively determine and facilitate their path to financial independence. I’m a Past President of the Financial Planning Association of New England and a member of the Television Academy. I enjoy spending quality time in, on, or near the water as much as possible.
