Brooks McCartney, AIF®, AAMS™

Associate Vice President, Investments
Financial Advisor

With over 30 years of industry experience Brooks appreciates the complexity of the investment industry. Starting as a financial advisor, he served in this role for the first 8 years of his career. Subsequently, he transitioned to a consultant to financial advisors for over 20 years. His consultation focused in three main arenas. First, guiding financial advisors in the fine art of portfolio construction. Secondarily, presenting best practices for wealth management businesses and finally, public speaking. Several topics, including a Life Wellness Trilogy with the following titles: “Energize for Purpose”, “Managing Stress for Success” & “Brainworks”, he still speaks about these to this day. Since 2018, Brooks returned to wealth management. More passionate than ever, he is actively serving investing families, C-Suite executives, and entrepreneurs alike.
