Our guidance is grounded in real experience across teams, leagues, athlete representation, sports investing and private wealth. We pair that perspective with the firm’s broader investment and advisory capabilities, drawing on meaningful relationships across the sports ecosystem to help clients make thoughtful decisions as their careers, opportunities and priorities evolve.
Success in sports can create extraordinary opportunities, along with financial complexity that evolves across careers, families, business interests and long-term priorities. At Brown Advisory, we help bring structure, discipline and coordination to that complexity. From early success through retirement and beyond, we work alongside each client and their existing advisors to help align wealth decisions with career, family and long-term goals.
Through investment management, strategic advice and discreet client service, we bring care and coordination to the details of each client’s financial life, helping align decisions with the people, priorities and long-term goals that matter most.
WHO WE SERVE
We partner with clients across the sports ecosystem.
We work with individuals, families and organizations whose opportunities, responsibilities and long-term goals are shaped by the sports ecosystem.
"Playing professional tennis taught me that even an individual sport is never truly individual. Preparation, discipline and the right advisors matter. At Brown Advisory, we help clients bring that same structure to their financial lives, aligning decisions with their goals, families and the legacy they hope to build."
DAMON GOOCH, PORTFOLIO MANAGER
Former Tennis Player
"The world of sports has a unique ability to bring people together around shared purpose. In our work with clients, we bring that same perspective to helping them carry their values forward and shape a lasting legacy."
DUNE THORNE, CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER - U.S. PRIVATE CLIENT
President, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team Foundation
"My time on the PGA Tour taught me that even the best-laid plans can change quickly - especially in professional golf. Talent and hard work create opportunities, but thoughtful planning creates options. That’s why I believe the right financial structure should be in place well before an athlete’s career begins to wind down. Building that foundation early gives athletes the flexibility to make the most of today’s opportunities while preparing for what's next."
CHRIS WILSON, CLIENT ADVISOR
Former Professional Golfer
"In sports, preparation matters, but alignment is what allows a team to execute. Everyone needs to understand the objective, the plan and the role they play. I try to bring that same perspective to my work with clients by helping organize complex decisions, coordinate the right advisors and stay focused on the people, priorities and legacy their wealth is meant to support."
VICTOR ABIAMIRI, PORTFOLIO MANAGER
Former Professional Football Player
"Playing lacrosse at the Olympic level requires trust, which is earned well before the competition starts. Every player has to understand the goal, commit to their role, and trust their teammates to execute theirs. That same alignment matters for athletes as their financial lives become more visible, more complex, and more closely tied to the people around them."
EMILY NALLS, RESEARCH INSTITUTE ANALYST
Olympic and Professional Lacrosse Player
"When I played professionally, I learned that what people see on court is only one part of the job. Travel, training, coaching, health, family and finances all have to be managed at the same time. For athletes, having the right structure around those decisions can create stability in a career where so much is constantly changing."
DREW COURTNEY, PORTFOLIO MANAGER & HEAD OF THE VIRGINIA OFFICES
Former Professional Tennis Player
"I’ve spent my career at the intersection of sports, business and investing, and I’ve seen how quickly opportunity can develop in this industry. Whether you’re an athlete or owner, the challenge is turning that opportunity into something durable, with the right investment strategy, advice, and long term perspective."
BRIAN VAHALY, SENIOR ADVISOR
Former Professional Tennis Player
"Playing professional squash doubles has reinforced that performance is built on preparation, adaptability, and trust. The game changes point by point, but the best players stay disciplined while adapting in real time. Athletes face similar decisions off the court as their opportunities, risks, and priorities shift."
OLIVIA WALSH, PORTFOLIO ANALYST
Professional Squash Doubles Player
