BIOGRAPHY
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor℠, Branden is committed to helping individuals and families make confident financial decisions that align with their values and long-term goals.
He began his career at Fidelity Investments, where he earned his Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 7, 63, and 66 licenses, along with his California Life Insurance license. He later joined Perigon Wealth Management as a Wealth Advisor, serving affluent individuals, families, and entrepreneurs with comprehensive financial planning.

His passion for financial planning stems from a genuine desire to serve others. He believes financial advising is more than growing wealth—it’s about being a trusted guide, practicing wise stewardship, and helping families gain the clarity and peace of mind needed to pursue what matters most.
