Brett Henderson
FOUNDER
As a prior US Marine Corps Officer, Brett brings a unique discipline to corporate finance. During his years of service Brett was an M1A1 tank officer, commanding and providing recommendations for the tactical employment of his unit. He graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Management and Accounting in 1998, and Boston University with a Master of Science in Business Administration in 2002. After his service as a Marine Officer, he began redirecting his firepower to helping business owners create, implement, and improve 401k and retirement plans. Brett has been in the corporate finance industry in excess of 18 years, working as an advisor for Merrill Lynch and UBS Financial Services, and earning industry recognition such as the 2017 NAPA Young Guns Award and being named Financial Times Top 401(k) Advisors in 2016 and 2017. With a desire to provide a more personalized approach without sales quotas or proprietary products, he founded Strategic Wealth Endeavor, Inc as an independent firm. When Brett isn’t serving his clients and the veteran community, he enjoys much of his time as a father with his son Lucas. He also enjoys exploring the desert and mountains in his Jeep.
