Getting to know Brian…
What is the founding business principal that has driven your practice the most?
Many years ago I started our firm through a grass-roots marketing effort by meeting people in the community door to door. Our philosophy has always been if you do the right thing for people they will tell other people. That is what has worked in the past and has continued to help us grow over the years.
What’s something about yourself that may surprise your clients?
I take boxing lessons every Thursday morning. Many of my clients know that I used to run quite a bit. I have done some half marathons and many 5k races over the years, however I have cut back my running significantly and have been trying to mix up my gym routine. Boxing was my father’s favorite sport to watch, so I think he’d be impressed with my skills!
What part of your daily routine do you enjoy most?
I like being a problem solver, a detective; I enjoy coming up with a solution for my client’s needs and concerns. Sometimes that means recommending a particular type of account to achieve their goals, other times I am researching answers to their questions. I know enough about taxes to be dangerous and tax planning has become a larger part of our practice as time goes on. Sometimes simple ideas or changes can make large differences in someone’s long term financial situation.
What is a bucket list vacation destination?
I would like to get to Norway and Denmark in the next few years. I’ve done some traveling to Europe, but want to get to northern Europe. I remember watching the winter Olympics being held in Lillehammer, Norway back in the 90’s and ever since that time I have wanted to get there some day.
If you were an ice cream flavor which one would you be and why?
Birthday Cake. Then every day would be a celebration!
