Brian Shaw

Brian's career focus has been to provide generational family financial planning. One of his greatest accomplishments is to be the name at the table during Thanksgiving that everyone knows. From the grandparents right through to the grandchildren.


He provides a steady investment approach that focuses on the risk adjusted returns within your portfolio. Whether you’re a conservative investor who fears volatility or an aggressive investor that strives for solid, high, long term returns, Brian believes that if we keep a core strategy of making sure that we can make money when the money making is good and lose less than everyone in the down times that is how we will continue to come out on top in the long run.


As a CERTFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, Chartered Life Underwriter®, and Certified Health Specialist™ since 1997, Brian provides a fully comprehensive strategy. He is here to help families retire when they want with what they want. He helps generational wealth transfers occur as tax efficiently as possible. You worked hard to build a lifetime of net worth. We want to ensure as much as possible transfers to the next generation.


In Brian's spare time, he enjoys time with his family, time on the golf course, and travelling the world.
