Testimonials

We are grateful for Brett’s wisdom and guidance over the past ten years. He has helped us to honor God with our resources and plan for the future. We especially appreciate his patience when we ask the same questions more than once. He has always been both kind and prompt in his responses.

Brett has been a godsend to our family in so many ways. We both respect Brett’s opinion on our financial affairs, and we totally trust him. I not only feel I can come to him with financial questions, but with “soul-searching” spiritual questions as well.

We have come to lean heavily on Brett for just about every major decision in our family. He has brought order, organization, clarity, and purpose to our finances. We so enjoy our meetings and time to discuss our family finances and appreciate Brett always pointing us to the Lord with every decision we make. He helps us make important decisions for now and the future and does not hesitate to tell us when we get off track. I sleep well at night knowing that we have everything buttoned up for the family should anything happen to either of us.

He has done the same for our business. I consider him a critical team member for my company, and I do not make any decisions without running them by him first. He has always been there for me to look over balance sheets and P&Ls and help strategize for the future. I also appreciate that he has, on more than one occasion, told me “NO.”

Perhaps equally as important, my wife and I consider Brett a friend. I feel like I could call him at any time during the day or night (and have) and know that he would be there for us.
