As a Senior Wealth Advisor, Brian focuses primarily on relationship management and delivering comprehensive wealth planning services to executive and high net worth clients. He brings significant expertise in sophisticated wealth management strategies focused on creating tax efficiency for the accumulation, preservation and transition of family financial resources. Prior to joining Legacy Trust in 2003, Brian spent many years providing wealth planning and trust administration at Old Kent Bank, later Fifth Third Bank. Brian left Legacy Trust in 2016 to manage wealth management teams in other cities, but soon found himself missing West Michigan and the freedom to focus on the holistic process of helping people find solutions to their most difficult financial concerns. He is happy to be home again in Grand Rapids and at Legacy Trust.
