I was born and raised in Baltimore County. At nine years old, my life changed dramatically when my mother suddenly suffered a stroke. Going from a dual to a single income household was challenging, but it equipped me with an insight into how life and financial situations can suddenly change. Learning independence (e.g., cooking meals, cleaning/ironing clothes, and budgeting money) at a young age led me in search of a career where I could help others.I saw how hard my father worked to provide for our family and learned what it took to achieve success. Therefore, I decided to embark on a career where I could challenge myself by helping others achieve financial success. Therefore, after working at T. Rowe Price for about 2 years, I chose to join Williams Asset Management as an associate financial planner in 2016 and have since transitioned into a lead financial advisor.I am dedicated to helping my clients identify their unique retirement goals and educate them on how to get there through comprehensive financial planning. My financial background and advanced certification help me guide those who are uncertain about where they are financially and put them in a place where they can gain confidence in their financial future.Email: Brian@williamsasset.comWilliams Asset Management8850 Columbia 100 Parkway, Suite 204Columbia, MD 21045 Phone: 410.740.0220Advisory services offered through Commonwealth Financial Network, a Registered Investment Adviser.
