Born and raised in Virginia, Brian learned the value of a dollar early on from his father, Tim Jones, one of the founding partners at CJM. Starting in the family business and working with families his entire career is all Brian knows. Working together with clients and taking the time to understand their needs allows Brian to deliver an approach that’s unique and specifically designed for the client.

Brian earned a Bachelors of Science in Public Administration from George Mason University. He also found time in college to intern for a government agency for a few years before ultimately deciding to pursue financial planning and wealth management full time.

Brian’s specialty lies in transition planning across all ages. For the client(s) this means that “something has happened in my life”. In particular, Brian focuses on helping clients with pre-retirement planning and portfolio optimization, income tax planning, income distribution planning in retirement, required minimum distribution planning for qualified plans and IRA accounts, as well as multi-generational planning between family members.

When not in the office, Brian enjoys cheering on his daughters at field hockey tournaments, cycling, the occasional fishing trip and anything else that helps conserve and preserve wetlands for future generations. Brian is also a USA Swimming Certified Official and you can find him “on deck” especially in the Winter and Spring months officiating with Potomac Valley Swimming.

Brian and his wife Amy and their twin daughters live in Vienna.
