I have been in the investment industry for 30 years.  I have spent the majority of my career working with large pools of combined investment funds - with corporate 401k's, insurance investment accounts, target date mutual funds, and target risk mutual funds - typically between $1 billion and $40 billion in size.  During that time, I have also enjoyed helping friends and family with their personal investments and financial planning.  In 2020, I decided to go independent and work with individuals, families, and small businesses.  I founded Huckstep Asset Management, LLC to manage investments and provide financial planning and advice. 

​

I graduated from the University of Michigan with my Bachelor's Degree in 1992.  I graduated from the University of Chicago with my MBA in 2003.  I passed the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam in 2004 and the CFP exam in 2021.  My work and education history can be found on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-huckstep-cfa-cfp%C2%AE-67176619/) and are listed here -
