with real estate principals and business owners with multi-national holdings. At the encouragement of
his clients, Brian left the banking world to form Allied Advisors, an independent Multi-Family Office.
Within five years, Allied grew to oversee and influence in excess of $5 billion of family wealth. In 2008,
Brian sold Allied and was recruited as a Senior Director for BNY Mellon where he originated $500 million
of assets under management and facilitated the closing on over $100 million of real estate loans for his
clients.

In 2014, in collaboration with Ryan Rhodes and the Rhodes family office, Brian founded Manifest

substance abuse.
