Justin S Brashear

I became a financial advisor with Edward Jones to help individual investors develop an investment strategy geared toward their unique, long-term goals. I've advised clients through many life stages, complex investment situations and ever-changing market conditions. Together, we create tailored solutions to address diverse needs such as:
• Individual investors who are just beginning to save for retirement, who recently retired or who are interested in estate considerations that may include family members with special needs.
• High net worth clients who are looking for tax-sensitive solutions.
• Small business owners who want to invest through their company, develop a strategy for their personal portfolio or offer retirement plans to their employees.

Prior to joining Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2017, I worked as an emergency room registered nurse and served as the chief financial officer of a local business. In 2015, I earned a master's degree in business administration from Saint Leo University. Since joining Edward Jones, I continued my studies and in 2018, achieved the AAMS™/ Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ professional designation, followed by the ChFC®/Chartered Financial Consultant® designation in 2021, and most recently completed all requirements to add the CFP®/CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2022.

Originally from Inverness, I have lived in Citrus County since 1980. I have a passion for making our community a better place to live for my clients and my own family. I live in Lecanto with my wife, Glenda, and our two sons, Aaron and Austin. I currently mentor high school students through the Men Building Men program through the Citrus County Education Foundation. I also previously served on the Citrus County YMCA Advisory Board.

Beth and I work together as a team to ensure each client receives services tailored to their needs and preferences. Wherever you are on your financial journey, it's beneficial to have a guide and an advocate. I'd be honored to be yours.
