About Me

Hi, I'm Brian Peterson. As a life-centric financial planner, I'm focused on your peace of mind as much as (if not more than) your financial prosperity.

The moment when I get to see my clients sit back, relax in their chair, and realize that they are going to be okay always fills me with a sense of duty, purpose and pride. Those feelings keep me motivated to guide my clients through the process of achieving their financial goals and life dreams.

I received my BA degree in biology from the University of Montana, then went on to get my MBA from the University of Minnesota. I also am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, meaning I've completed rigorous training and exams, and I have agreed to adhere to the board's code of ethics and standards of conduct as an advisor.

Before becoming an advisor, I worked for a boutique consulting company advising private equity and corporate clients on their acquisitions, and I also worked in project management for a Fortune 500 company. In 2008, I became a financial advisor and served at various firms until I founded Endurance Financial Group in 2021.

Throughout all of my past experiences, the part of my background that is most important to me is that I am a veteran. I served in the U.S. Army most recently as a chemical officer. Joining the military was a dream of mine ever since I was 10 years old, and I look back in admiration of my time serving.

Outside of work, I first and foremost am a dedicated husband and father. My wife, Cara, and I have a blended family of 5 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. We enjoy daily walks with our dogs. In my free time I enjoy running—it’s when I can enjoy nature and unwind.

I have completed 7 marathons so far and plan to participate in one on each continent (yes, that includes Antarctica)! Reading, traveling and attending Eagle Brook Church with my family are a few of my other favorite things to do.

About our Firm

It’s challenging to merge the finances of blended families with differing financial values, backgrounds, and obligations in a way that works for all family members. This leaves couples uncertain about whether they are handling money "fairly." At Endurance Financial Group, we help couples blend their finances by creating a clear vision for their family and a plan to make it happen.

We are an independent Registered Investment Advisor partnering with blended families in St. Paul, MN, and beyond. We help families combine their household finances in a unified financial plan that works for all members of the family while addressing any pre-existing family and financial considerations.

We work with clients to help:

● Ease any feeling that they are drifting and instead create a shared direction
● Feel excited to plan for all the fun things life has in store for their new family
● Prepare for future goals, like retirement

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
