With our profiling of business owners, we work to expand their markets and share their stories. And when highlighting charities, our goal is to cultivate stronger support for their worthy causes. Join us on this adventure, won’t you?
Why We Exist
The history of hunting predates civilization. It has long been a Natural part of the human experience and, for most of our existence, a necessary one. With the advancement of civilizations, the requirement to hunt for subsistence has clearly diminished. Yet the pursuit of wild things remains very much a part of who we are. For many of us who have embraced this aspect of our humanity, it is a lifestyle.
At The Financial Outfitter, we believe that the path to becoming a hunter holds the remedies for many of the ailments plaguing our modern world. The path leads one through the experiences, heritage, and traditions many of us hold dear. A path that can teach its travelers patience, resilience, perseverance, and self-reliance.
This way of life is under incredible global pressure to be eliminated. To think anything else is willful ignorance. It is up to us to save our lifestyle and encourage and share it with others. To be more inclusive by helping new people experience nature through the eyes of a participant, not just a spectator. And to encourage those who live the lifestyle to engage more deeply. Our goal is to share, connect, and inspire others to think bigger, do more, and pursue their outdoor passions.
Our Mission
To promote new connections in the sporting community by bringing awareness to opportunities and issues that impact our lifestyle, challenge members to think critically about their role in the modern world, and help others to turn dreams into cherished memories.

Meet Brian
The man behind The Financial Outfitter
Brian is a third-generation sportsman, lifelong athlete, and self-help junkie. With a passion for archery, he harvested his first white-tailed deer with a bow at the age of 13. Having spent most of his adult life racing bicycles, he is keenly interested in endurance sports and general fitness.
He doesn’t own a television, and there is no computer in his home. Which he says supports his belief that life is not a spectator sport. He is, however, a fan of the Founding Fathers and other great thinkers, which finds him reading 14-16 books a year.
Recently, he’s traveled abroad, pursuing his hunting and fishing passions. He’s been to Argentina, Belize, New Zealand, and Spain. Each year brings with it a new country and a new adventure.
Brian founded BPG Planning, a Financial Planning Firm focusing on business and estate integration and retirement income planning. He is also a member of Trout Unlimited, a Lifetime member of Safari Club International, a lifetime member of Trout Unlimited, a lifetime member of SCI, and an active board member of the Pittsburgh Chapter of SCI.
His blue-collar upbringing and work ethic motivate him to keep pushing forward and encouraging others to build a plan, book that trip, and turn a dream into a cherished memory.
