About Todd Brundage, CFP®, ChFC, GFP Fellow

Hi, I'm Todd Brundage. I am the Founder and President of Pacific Capital Works, and I am also a contributor on the radio show Your Money, jointly presented by The Wharton School of Business and Sirius XM.

I have more than 20 years of experience working with global executives on strategy, investments, wealth planning, capital markets, and relationship management, all with the goal of helping maximize wealth.

Before founding Pacific Capital Works, I served as Vice President of Institutional Sales at D.A. Davidson and as Director of Capital Markets at the Robin’s Group. Both were institutional capital markets groups focused on supporting institutional investment managers and C suite executives in public companies.

During my tenure in these roles, I excelled at resolving market challenges that can impact small cap companies, executives who are heavily incentivized with equity in those companies, and investment managers seeking specific investment opportunities. My knowledge of company fundamentals, trading, strategy, and institutional relationships helped drive solutions for these groups and contributed to renewed interest in the stocks, improving valuations and liquidity.

In 2007, I was recognized as one of the top five performing contributors in the United States for directing a $50 million fund within the Marshall Wace TOPS program, one of the larger hedge funds in Europe, where success was measured by annual portfolio return. I began my post collegiate career as a US Army officer and was recognized for distinguished service in the Gulf War.

I earned an MBA from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Oregon. I am also a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), a Global Financial Planner (GFP USA), and a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC). In addition, I am a member of NAPFA and the Global Financial Planning Institute.

I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife, daughter, and son.
