Pat Brown, MBA, is a seasoned wealth advisor, financial educator, and lifelong advocate for empowering professionals through practical financial literacy. With over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, Pat has built a reputation for translating complex financial topics into clear, actionable guidance tailored to the unique lives of educators, academics, and mission-driven professionals. A former Division I football player and graduate of the University of Kansas, Pat combines discipline, strategic thinking, and a deep respect for lifelong learning in everything he does. After earning his MBA, he went on to work with clients across the country-from tenured professors and department heads to early-career faculty navigating retirement options, student loan strategies, and university benefit packages for the first time. Pat understands that professors face a financial landscape unlike any other-one that often includes multiple income sources, nontraditional career timelines, sabbaticals, relocations, and layered retirement systems like 403(b)s, pensions, and state benefits. Through his work and writing, he aims to fill the gap between what academics are taught about money-and what they actually need to know to build sustainable wealth. In addition to advising individual clients, Pat is the founder of www.FinancialLiteracyForProfessors.

com, a growing resource hub for educators seeking trustworthy financial education. His approach is rooted in clarity, empathy, and empowerment-not jargon, sales pressure, or one-size-fits-all solutions. Pat regularly speaks at universities, professional associations, and educator conferences across the country. He's known for making financial conversations feel approachable, even for those who never imagined themselves "good with money." His ultimate goal is to ensure that those who've spent their lives advancing knowledge are equipped with the tools to protect their income, plan for the future, and create a legacy on their own terms.
