Before joining First Pacific Financial in 2018, Harrison worked in the banking industry for six years.
He came to us from the Beehive State of Utah, where he graduated with a Financial Planning and Business Management degree from Utah Valley University. His passion for people and crunching numbers made a career in financial planning a perfect fit.
When it comes to his work, Harrison has a passion for helping those in the nursing industry. All his life, nurses have surrounded him. Because of that, he’s learned to appreciate their work of compassionate care. The recent pandemic has only accentuated that gratitude.
Harrison understands that the nursing industry is demanding and, at times, high-risk. For nurses, thoughtful planning to provide the best possible financial future for their families is crucial. His focus is to provide his clients with a well-crafted investment strategy to meet the financial goals that are most important to them.
When he’s not helping his clients, Harrison enjoys spending time with his wife and three young boys. You’ll usually find them at the local park or watching the latest Disney movie.

Brandon’s interest in financial services stems from the vast opportunity for research and analysis in the industry. From quantifying portfolio probabilities to measuring the risk inherent in the capital markets, he thrives on studying challenging concepts.
Brandon began his career in the financial services industry in 2002 working with defined contribution plans, and later defined benefit plans for a local retirement plan administrator. He kept a devotion to investing by studying, reading, and learning as a primary leisure activity. He joined First Pacific in 2016, strengthening our firm’s Investment Committee.
Brandon and his wife embark on adventures traveling around the Pacific Northwest with their daughter, trying new restaurants, and eating gourmet food.
A recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest, Chad grew up in the Midwest and living there most of his life he developed a keen ability to dodge tornadoes, floods, heat waves and snowstorms. Sadly very little of that transfers to his new home where he does everything he can to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty and wonder of the region with his wife and two dogs. He is unparalleled in his love for animals of all types and can’t go five minutes without sharing photos of his fur babies.
His technical background includes a decade with the Department of Defense where he assisted the US military with a wide array of mechanical and technical jobs that eventually ended when he left to pursue his passion in web and application development. Working as a project manager he was an ideal choice to take on the role of Director of Technology at First Pacific Financial and is constantly looking for ways to better the firm and our clients through secure practices and IT solutions.
