Paul Brooker

Paul Brooker joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in June 2019, following a 20-year career in the United States Marine Corps, where he attained the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Paul understands the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military and is committed to helping service members and their families get their financial lives squared away.

Paul has a bachelor's degree in Homeland Security from Campbell University and an associate's degree in arts from Campbell University. He holds Series 7, Series 66, and SIE securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in North Carolina.

Understanding that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior, Paul serves as a personal financial coach to clients, continually reinforcing positive financial behaviors. His thorough knowledge of military pay and benefits enables him to advise clients on how to navigate the Blended Retirement System, properly allocate their contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and take full advantage of other benefits. Paul will work with you to establish specific, meaningful goals that are consistent with your values and then develop a personalized financial plan to guide your pursuit of those goals.

In his free time, Paul enjoys football, spending time with family, and working out.

Active in his community, Paul is a volunteer for Cub Scouts and 4-H Equestrian programs.

First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer for the specific purpose of improving the financial well-being of military professionals and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of "Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security."
