Brian also earned the “Ethics Certified” designation from the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants (IARFC).

The Navy called Brian back to active duty in June 2018 where he served as a Strategic Planner in the Iran Branch at United States Central Command Headquarters in Tampa, Florida for one year. Brian currently holds the rank of Commander and is a Staff Officer at Carrier Strike Group Four in Virginia.

In his free time Brian spends as much time as possible with his wife, three sons, and two golden retriever rescues. He is a board member of the Auburn University Alumni Association, the Villanova University Alumni Association, and serves on the LPL Financial Government Relations Advisory Council.
