Brian Koning
Gift Planning Consultant – British Columbia
As a highly relational leader and skilled networker, Brian finds his purpose in connecting good people to good people. Throughout his career, Brian has always believed it’s through building relationships and leading the charge for "the cause", that you’ll build your legacy. He is driven by the maxim: “Invest wise to Change lives”.
Brian has over two decades of experience in education, leadership development, and investor relations. His time in Investor Relations with Westbow Capital and as Director of Advancement at Abbotsford Christian School has given him a strong understanding of the intersection of finance and philanthropy.
Brian understands that to be a trusted advisor is a high calling. Helping generous individuals achieve significant impact for causes dear to their hearts is work worth doing well. Brian looks at life through the lens of, “Be more than just 'yourself' – be your best self,” which he strives to live out in a daily quest for balance with other key roles in his life – as husband, father, and grandfather (Bubba) – and as a fan of good books, great times, and old friends.
