Bret is a Seattle native and explains his strong proclivity for thrift as “occupational hazard,” though his wife, Melissa, an interior designer, and daughter consider this to be a flimsy excuse. Bret is the team’s portfolio and money manager – a great point of contact for specific questions about your investments. A financial advisor since 2005, Bret is currently a CFA charterholder, and holds the CRPC® Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ and APMA® Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor℠ designations. Bret’s eclectic interests span from arts & crafts to hiking to fly fishing to tennis. He’s an avid reader and an amateur painter (you can see one of his paintings in the main conference room). He is also annoyingly passionate about jazz and refers to himself as a “recovering musician.” He was a gigging jazz musician as well as a jazz studies major at the University of Southern California, though ultimately earned his B.A. in political science from the University of Washington. When he’s not busy with all his interests, Bret spends time with his family whenever, he says, they can tolerate him.
