Since starting as a financial advisor in 1992, Brett has helped clients pursue their greatest goals. He co-founded an independent practice, today HNS Advisors, in 2008. He enjoys maintaining open contact with clients while also coordinating the team’s strategies and vision as Managing Principal.

Brett takes pride in the fact that he and the team are dedicated to the commitment to superior service.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from Virginia Military Institute, Brett served as a Captain in the United States Air Force. Today he continues to serve the community through projects and causes like the Anna Julia Cooper School, North Star Academy, VMI, Sheltering Arms, World Pediatric Project, and Stop Child Abuse Now. He and his wife, Kelly, have two children, Ned and Will.

For Scott, the best part of being a financial advisor for over 20 years is collaborating with clients to craft strong plans that are designed to support their life goals. As a firm believer in the adage, “the days are long, but the years are short,” he feels it is important to make the most of the journey along the way. He works with clients to establish the daily savings and investment routines today that are designed to support near and long-term goals, like creating memorable family vacations, providing for children’s education and toward building a secure retirement.

Scott’s financial advisory career began at a predecessor firm of Wells Fargo Clearing Services in 1999. In 2008, he helped found HNS Advisors, an independent practice. His focus is on planning and analysis to help each client’s portfolio progress in line with their goals.

In his spare time, Scott enjoys distance running, fishing and spending time with his wife, Jenni, and their three college-age children, Molly, Jack and Becca. He serves as a board member of the Longwood University Trust and Brookfield, Inc.

Mark began his career as a CPA with legendary firm Coopers & Lybrand, now part of PwC, where he focused on business audits and financial and tax planning*. Additionally, he has worked in the residential and commercial real estate, development, and construction industry for twenty-one years. Today, he draws from this broad knowledge and experience.

Mark is active in the Hampton Roads community, currently serving on the boards of Hampton Roads Academy, Youth Sailing Virginia, and James River Country Club. He enjoys most outdoor activities, especially golf and boating, while spending time with his wife, Lorie, and their children Garrison and Emalee.
