Troy Braga
Wealth Management Advisor
Troy joined Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in 2014 after twelve years working in a broad range of corporate finance positions. He received an M.B.A. from Washington State University, as well as degrees in Finance and Human Resources Management from the University of Idaho. Troy is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). He does not provide tax advice in his current role at Merrill.
Outside of the office, Troy loves spending time outdoors with his wife, three young children, and their black lab. He stays active coaching youth sports, participating in triathlons – racing in his first full Ironman in 2015 – and enjoying all the recreational activities that come with living in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Troy also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery in Spokane, Washington.
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CFP® in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP® Board’s initial and ongoing certification requirements.
I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community.
Communication is instrumental to managing life's challenges. That's why I work to engage you and your family in the financial decision-making process. Communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult subject of wealth can be a challenge. I can help facilitate these discussions and offer personalized financial strategies designed to educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
