REAL PLANNING FOR REAL LIFE

Meet Brandon Galici, CFP®, EA

You shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying life today and feeling confident about tomorrow.

Good planning gives you permission to do both.

Where It Started

I didn’t set out to become a financial planner. I actually started college as a sports broadcasting major at West Liberty University in West Virginia. Then I joined the investment club, and everything changed.

Something clicked. I switched majors, dove headfirst into taxes, investments, insurance, and estate planning, and honestly got a little obsessed. I even signed up for a 400-level Taxation of Business Entities course just for fun. My favorite professor gave me a superlative award for being the only student who ever had. (Nerdy? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.)

That passion led me to real client work early on, starting at a local tax office where I saw firsthand how the right planning could change someone’s financial life. Not just in theory. In their actual, everyday life.

After a few years at a large firm, I kept running into the same wall: the system was built around the firm, not the client. So I left and built something better.

A Little About Me Outside of Work

I’m based in San Juan Capistrano, California, with my wife Amanda, our dog Perla, our cats Indy and Kira, and our (Amanda's) horse Willow.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me on the golf course obsessing over my stats, out on a mountain bike trail, or hiking with Amanda. I also serve as a mentor with Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, helping others pursue their calling with faith and purpose.

I care deeply about the people in my life and that carries directly into how I work with clients.
