The Cornerstone Legacy
At Cornerstone, we’re more than a financial firm. We’re a family, both in name and in how we serve. Brett grew up at the dinner table talking markets with his dad, Kim, a seasoned advisor who brings decades of experience and a calming, “bedside manner” rooted in a family of medical professionals. Together, they blend old-school values with modern insight, creating a firm built on trust, empathy, and long-term relationships.
From college athletes to client advocates, both Brett and Kim are driven by discipline, care, and a deep commitment to guiding families through every financial chapter. Whether it’s a starter portfolio or legacy planning, their hands-on approach means no jargon, no commissions—just clear, transparent guidance and genuine connection. At Cornerstone, your story becomes part of our family legacy.
