Brian Murphy

Partner Advisor

AIF®

The founder and long-time president of Pathways Financial Partners, Brian Murphy is an Allworth advisor in the Tucson office. A native of New Jersey, Brian graduated from the University of Arizona where he studied both English and Economics. After a few years working for a Wall Street firm, Brian decided he was not well-suited to the sales-centric business model inherent to that industry and went out on his own to establish a career as an independent, fiduciary advisor. He’s never looked back. A father of three, Brian enjoys fishing and golf, and lives with his wife of more than 40 years in the Tucson area.

I have gotten to see many people dream of, plan for, and ultimately execute a successful retirement.
