After a short stint with Mass Mutual Seattle, Brandon founded Securian Advisors NW and there he brought together like-minded advisors who were all passionate about serving their clients better, with that same continue focus on fee-based financial planning. Finally, in 2023, driven by a desire for true independence and autonomy, the team at Securian Advisors NW left Securian and joined Commonwealth Financial Network and established their own brand, DPA Wealth Partners. Together, inspired by the tag to, “Dream, Plan, and Achieve…,” Brandon and the team continue to building long-lasting, client-centric relationships.
