Brian Washkowiak

Growing up in LaSalle, Illinois, I was struck by how hard the people around me worked for their money. I worked many jobs as a teenager and learned the importance of saving from my parents. I started reading the business section of the local newspaper as a teenager and it led to an interest in investments. I enjoyed a long career in the financial industry as an investment analyst before I joined Edward Jones. Throughout my life, helping others has been an integral part of who I am. I chose a career as a financial advisor because I believe I can make a difference in the lives of families in my community.

A diversified portfolio is a way to build wealth over time. People can benefit from a long-term strategy and a tailored portfolio. No two clients are alike, and it is important to take the time to listen and understand your needs and objectives, in order to deliver a personalized financial strategy to meet your long-term financial goals. We work together using an established process that starts with an understanding of what is important to you. It is also important to understand the level of risk you are comfortable accepting to build a portfolio appropriate for you. We partner with you throughout your life to help keep you on track, adjusting along the way as your goals change.

I live in Wheaton with my wife Christy, where we raised our twin children Alex and Isabella. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, doing service in the community, reading, being active and relaxing with my rescue dogs. I am a member of Rotary and enjoy volunteering with Love Your Neighbor and the People's Resource Center. I earned a degree in finance from Illinois State University.
