“The ultra-affluent market is an exciting and complex space. Our clients, their attorneys, investment advisors, CPAs, and other professional service providers have come to rely on CFG to deliver unique solutions to meet their investment, tax, and estate planning needs. I believe our technical knowledge and commitment to ongoing client service is what truly separates CFG.”

When not at work Brian loves to spend time with his family, cook for family and friends, travel, and get in as many rounds of golf as having a toddler will allow.
