About Me
Hello, my name is Brandon Klump and I am a Junior at Michigan State University studying Finance as a Major and Financial Planning and Wealth Management and Entrepreneurship as a Minor on track to graduate in Spring of 2025. Cumulative GPA: 4.00
My career goal is to be a Financial Advisor where I can help individuals and families with the time consuming, complex, and frustrating world of financial planning. I desire to build long-term relationships with clients and a team of financial advisors. I want to work for the client’s best interest and not work for my own paycheck.
My past experience includes:
- Almost 4 years of experience as a Junior Website Designer and Developer. I continue to work one-on-one with clients on a contractual basis. I also completely developed the website, social media, and marketing material for the company I work through (Enduser Technologies, LLC). Learn more here about why I got into website design.
- Working at an on-campus retail market that’s very close to where I live. Grow my communication and teamwork skills.
- In August 2023 I completed The Amplified Planning Externship where I gained hands-on experience in the main areas of financial planning through experts and client meetings. Also used realistic client data in eMoney and got the Fundamentals Certification.
- Summer 2023 I created a window cleaning business called Clarity Window Cleaning, LLC. Gained revenue of over $15,000 serving 50+ customers. Built a website and social media. Created a review system and advertised using Facebook Ads. Learn more here and about the reasons behind a window cleaning business.
- I interned for a premium financing life insurance company where I built their website and marketing material while learning about life insurance and premium financing to high and ultra high net worth individuals. To see the site click here.
On campus activities:
- Finance Association and Wealth Management Association Member.
- Wealth Management Podcast Executive Editor.
Some of my hobbies include: family & friends, golfing, going to the gym, watching sports, traveling, cooking, photography, ATVing, snowboarding, and boating. To view photos click here.
