I am a CFP® professional and the founder of BRJ Wealth Management. I specialize in helping busy individuals and families build, manage, and preserve wealth through tax efficient wealth planning and investment management strategies. With over a decade of experience, I have developed and refined a process designed to help people achieve financial freedom so they can enjoy what matters most. Before founding BRJ Wealth Management in 2022, I helped start what became a top 5% producing advisory practice at LPL Financial among over 19,000 financial advisors nationwide. I was responsible for creating holistic strategies to meet the goals of over 200 individuals and families. I also led the investment management team where we oversaw $160 million assets under management of client portfolios. Outside of crafting financial plans, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my wonderful family. My wife, Kelli, is a dedicated elementary school teacher right here in Brighton. We've been happily married since 2016 and are kept wonderfully busy by our two daughters, Kaia (3.5) and Brecklyn (1.5). Their adorable "frenemy" dynamic provides endless entertainment! After a decade away, we're thrilled to be back in Michigan and have settled into our new home in Brighton. We're actively unpacking and eagerly reconnecting with family and friends, excited to become an integral part of the Brighton community. When I have a moment to myself, I love being outdoors – whether it's exploring local parks with the girls, playing sports, or enjoying time on the water. Even in the Michigan winters, I continue my lifelong passion for ice hockey, playing weekly in a league.
