As the Founder of Brennan Capital Management, I bring over 17+ years of experience working in the financial services industry at leading organizations including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Finacity Corporation to guide individuals and businesses through the intricacies of financial planning and wealth management. I assess clients' financial situations, set strategic goals, and craft tailored plans encompassing investment management, retirement planning, tax strategies, and estate planning. My approach combines deep industry knowledge with a commitment to transparency and integrity.

I help pre-retirees and early retirees who need assistance making their money last in order to secure the retirement lifestyle they envision. By using a combination of comprehensive financial planning and investment management services I help my clients think through difficult financial tradeoffs and come up with solutions that provide peace of mind. If you are looking for someone you can trust to explain complicated financial issues in a clear way and want to delegate your investment program to a financial advisor, you’ve come to the right place. ★ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I was previously an art director at Money Magazine and Mutual Funds Magazine where I worked for nearly 12 years helping readers better understand personal finance topics. I am adept at making complex financial issues easy to understand, love solving problems, and skilled at keeping people on task to accomplish their goals. As a career changer and father of two teenage boys, I know what it takes to care for a family while simultaneously working toward achieving personal goals.

I'm a dedicated financial professional with over a decade of experience, committed to helping my clients achieve their financial goals. Originally from Quito, Ecuador, I'm a first-generation immigrant who came to the United States to pursue my education and career. After a year of studying abroad in Paris in 2012, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Finance from Western Connecticut State University, marking the beginning of my journey in financial services. Since then, I've had the privilege of working closely with clients, guiding them through various financial landscapes. I believe in continuous learning and have invested in expanding my expertise to better serve their diverse needs. In 2022, I earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification, a testament to my commitment to upholding the highest standards in financial planning. Additionally, I hold multiple other designations from the American College of Financial Services, including Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®), Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®), and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®). When I'm not in the office, you can find me enjoying a round of golf, catching a tennis match, or cheering on my favorite soccer team. I also love exploring new destinations and trying out new restaurants. I live in Norwalk, CT, with my wife, Paula.
