Hello! I'm Brock. And if we're ever going to work together, it's only fair you know a little about me. I'm a native South Dakotan and have lived here my entire life. I grew up in the small town of Onida, SD (population 800), and I attended college at South Dakota State University (SDSU) in Brookings, SD.In 2001, I started my financial advisor career with Morgan Stanley. And boy, did that give me a memory I will never forget. At the time, Morgan Stanley did their training at the World Trade Center in New York. Yes, in July 2001, only a couple months before 9/11, I spent 3 weeks training to be a financial advisor at THE World Trade Center. It was an experience I will never forget! I also survived the 2008-2009 financial crisis while at Morgan Stanley (hope I don't see that again). And ultimately, I earned the title of Associate Vice President. I learned a great deal in the almost 10 years I was at Morgan Stanley. But I wanted to start my own firm.So in 2010, I launched HyLine Wealth and haven't looked back. As an independent advisor, I don't have to worry about another firm's agenda (commission goals, product sales, etc). I can focus on what I think is best for my clients. I'm in this business because I love helping people. I enjoy keeping up with the latest ideas and strategies that might help my clients get ahead. Frankly, it doesn't feel like work to me. It feels like something I would do if I didn't need a job.On a personal note, I'm an avid fair weather fan of the Chicago Cubs (2016 champs), Chicago Bears (not good), Nebraska Cornhuskers (could be better), and anything related to South Dakota State University (Go Jacks!). I love talking about new and big ideas...it energizes me. If we meet, maybe you can tell me about one of your big ideas.And there, now you know a little about me. I'd love to compete for your business.Get my smart investing/money "tips" at: https://hylinewealth.com/hyline-wealth-money-tipswww.HyLineWealth.com
