Brandon has lived in Columbus, Ohio practically his entire life. He attended St. Brigid of Kildare Elementary School and then Bishop Watterson high school. Upon graduation, he attended The University of Cincinnati and dual majored in Finance and Real Estate. At UC, he spent his first two years studying to become a doctor while playing hockey for the University.
From a young age, Brandon has always had an entrepreneurial itch, so during his summer breaks he started a landscaping company which allowed him to see the benefits of owning your own business. Upon returning to school, Brandon decided he wanted to pursue a career in business instead of medicine. Still with a desire to help people, Brandon settled on Finance with a focus on Financial Planning, he decided that if he can’t help people fix their health, he can help them fix the next best thing, their relationship with money.
Brandon started his career at Principal Financial Group in 2021, where he focused on protecting people’s greatest asset – their income. He was actively involved at The Ohio State University working with new Residents and Fellows to select appropriate Disability coverage. However, Brandon knew that there was more that he could do as a Financial Planner and did not like how transactional the insurance side of the business had become. So, he started to lay the foundation for a shift to a new firm.
Brandon settled into First Financial Group in October of 2023, where he works by utilizing a team approach to deliver custom-tailored financial strategies to his clients. Brandon prefers this over solo work because two sets of eyes are always better than one. At First Financial Group he has all the tools necessary to lead clients up and down the financial mountain.
