Role & Background:
As Founder and President of Granite Peak, Brian leads the firm’s strategic vision, coaches the team, and works closely with clients at a strategic level. A 20-year CPA career shaped his expertise in tax, transactions, investments, and relationship management—and ultimately inspired him to create a bespoke, independent trustee solution built on trust and stewardship.

Why Granite Peak:
Brian is passionate about helping clients navigate the intersection of financial, human, and social capital. He’s driven by a deep sense of accountability, transparency, discipline, and purpose—always focused on empowering others and owning outcomes.

Outside the Office:
Brian’s idea of balance involves a fly rod almost as much as a golf club—as he likes to say, “my golf handicap is fly fishing.”  He’s on a mission to travel to at least 100 countries and is also deeply committed to serving those living in poverty and making a difference in the daily lives of those living in the shadows of his community.
