Brett Maggard
Founder , Fiduciary Financial Advisor, MBA, MDRT
Brett Maggard
Brett believes trust isn’t given—it’s earned over time through honesty, consistency, and showing up when it matters most. He founded Maggard Wealth Management with a clear mission: to become your family’s most trusted financial resource.
At the firm, clients aren’t treated like account numbers—they’re treated like people, with real lives, real goals, and real concerns.
Outside of work, Brett enjoys spending time with his significant other, Mazzy, and their two rescue dogs, Myla and Peanut. He values time with family and friends, stays active through golf, baseball, and working out, and enjoys coaching youth sports, traveling, reading, and volunteering at the local animal shelter.
A native Floridian, Brett earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Florida Atlantic University before continuing his academic and athletic career at Angelo State University in Texas, where he earned his master’s degree in business administration and played collegiate baseball.
He was later drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies, but an injury forced him to step away from professional baseball—an experience that shaped his resilience and perspective.
Growing up through humble beginnings, Brett witnessed firsthand the financial hardship his family endured during the 2008 financial crisis. That experience stayed with him.
When baseball ended, he knew his next chapter would be centered on helping others avoid the uncertainty and stress his family once faced. In 2016, he entered the financial industry, earned multiple financial licenses, and became a fiduciary financial advisor.
Brett understands that no two people share the same financial story. Everyone comes from a different background, views money differently, and carries their own goals and fears.

Professionally, I bring over 12 years of experience in healthcare, a field that has deeply shaped my perspective on planning for the future. Through working closely with patients, I’ve seen firsthand how the absence of a solid financial and retirement plan can lead to unnecessary stress, gaps in coverage, and a diminished quality of life. Those experiences instilled in me a strong appreciation for preparation and the importance of having a clear, reliable strategy in place.
