Helping people make confident financial decisions is what Brian enjoys most about his career. Since joining Riley Financial Strategies Group in 2020, he has worked closely with individuals and families to help simplify complex financial decisions and create personalized strategies tailored to their goals. Holding the FINRA SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 securities registrations, Brian is passionate about educating clients and building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and exceptional service.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh’s North Hills, Brian learned early the value of hard work, competition, and teamwork through golf and inline hockey. Those same principles continue to shape his approach as a registered client associate—helping clients stay focused on long-term success while navigating life’s inevitable changes.

When he’s away from the office, Brian’s favorite role is being a husband and father to his two young sons. Whether it’s a day at the park, a family vacation, or cheering on his kids as they grow, he believes life’s greatest investments are often the ones made outside the market.
