Senior Investment & Wealth Advisor
For over 23 years, Brian has been passionately working in wealth management to provide his clients with the clarity, stability, and confidence to enjoy their money. Before becoming an investment advisor, he worked in communications on national advertising campaigns for some of Canada’s largest brands, and in business development helping companies grow. He loved the entrepreneurial and client-focused nature of the work, but found his heart pulling him toward a career where he could help people achieve financial peace of mind.
Not one to rely on others to dictate his fate, Brian pursued his new path by apprenticing as a financial advisor and founding Eydt Wealth Partners, developing it into one of the most successful practices in Canada by helping clients create a clear financial vision for the future. Brian could not be prouder of his team and the relationships that they continue to build with their clients.
Outside of work, you can find him at the rink playing hockey, trying to improve his climbing time on the Grouse Grind, or enjoying the outdoors with his wife, Halle, and children, Makenna (21), Naomi (20), Cooper (18), Charlie (8), and Oliver (7).
Associate Wealth Advisor
Starting his career in the financial industry in 2002, Eric has extensive wealth planning experience as a Certified Financial Planner since 2008. After joining Brian in 2012 and becoming his business partner, he’s built a reputation as a trusted advisor, helping clients build and implement personalized wealth strategies. Eric takes the lead on complex financial planning and portfolio management strategy, while also stewarding the practice's strategic direction. Known for his respectful, humble nature, he’s always working to understand clients' goals and provide meaningful advice to keep them on track. Eric thrives working with a diverse, entrepreneurial team that allows him to focus on the process and genuinely enjoying the journey.
With an engineering background, Eric brings his work ethic, analytical rigor and attention to detail to everything he does at the office and in his life. Outside the office, he channels that same focused energy into his passions: competitive road cycling and mountain biking, yoga, and fitness. As one of the original Steed Ride Club Leaders, he's spent over a decade promoting healthy living through cycling and community building—including countless hours with the North Shore Mountain Biking Association on trail maintenance. When he's not working or riding, Eric is happiest spending time with his wife Tamara and daughters, Kiera (12) and Amelia (9), whether cheering them on at their gymnastics competitions, hitting the tennis/pickleball courts or biking the Whistler trails with them.
