Brad Braithwaite joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in August 2014. He is excited about the opportunity to help people make the smart financial decisions that are essential to long-term financial security. A graduate of Campbell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Brad holds Series 6, 7, 63, 65, 24, 26 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Alabama and Montana. Understanding that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior, Brad serves as a personal financial coach to clients, continually reinforcing positive financial behaviors. He advocates time-tested financial principles, including disciplined, long-term saving and investing, careful debt management, and a thoughtful insurance strategy to manage financial risk. Brad will work with you to establish specific, meaningful goals that are consistent with your values and then develop a personalized financial plan to guide your pursuit of those goals. In his free time, Brad enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and working out. First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer for the specific purpose of improving the financial well-being of military professionals and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”
