Before founding Escarpment Financial Group, Brian earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and spent more than three decades in the semiconductor industry. His career included helping build Silicon Labs from its pre-IPO beginnings into a company generating more than $1 billion in annual revenue, followed by executive leadership at Skyworks Solutions, a global semiconductor company.

​

Throughout his career, Brian maintained a strong personal interest in finance, investing, and helping others make informed financial decisions. He shared that enthusiasm by teaching the Personal Management merit badge to Scouts and further developed his expertise by completing the Financial Planning Certificate Program at the University of Texas in April 2022.

 

Brian's engineering background and financial planning education bring together analytical discipline, thoughtful decision making and a commitment to helping others navigate important financial choices.

 

Today, Brian brings that perspective to Escarpment Financial Group, where clients work directly with him to develop financial strategies thoughtfully tailored to their individual goals and circumstances.

​

Brian lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Jeanna.  They are proud parents of three adult children - Brantley, Carlyn and Lawson - and are delighted to have welcomed Brantley's wife, Olivia, into the family.

​

In his free time, Brian enjoys traveling, watching college sports, and supporting his favorite soccer team.
