About the Author

A native to St Louis, Missouri, Brian's father migrated from Croatia to Missouri a half a century ago and married his mother who was born and raised in St Louis. Growing up his mom and dad modeled the importance of family and having a strong work ethic. His father worked a full time job while running a small business and his mother raised two kids. At a young age, Brian recognized the importance of working hard, living as an example and helping others. In 1992, his family's tax accountant introduced Brian to the financial business and offered an opportunity to work for him. Brian took him up on the offer the following year and began working closely with a team of financial and tax professionals offering various products and services to clients. After two years of being in the financial services business, he took his experience and opened his own financial planning business. Shortly after putting his name on the door he quickly made a shift away from offering products and began focusing on serving the unique planning needs of his clients. Within a few short years, Brian built a network of professionals offering Tax, Mortgage, Insurance, Legal and Investments services becoming a comprehensive resource for his clients. Today, his clients look to him for most any money related matter. He resides in the St Louis, Missouri area with his wife Kari and has three children Tyler, Malori, Hannah, a daughter in law Taylor and a dog Kooper.
