THE DPB FINANCIAL TEAM
Dawson Brooks – Co-Founder of DPB Financial
DPB Financial may look like my solo creation, but in reality, it was built by my brother and me—driven by one shared mission:
To provide middle-income families with access to the same wealth-building strategies used by America’s top 1%.
Why? Because we come from middle America ourselves. We grew up watching our parents work tirelessly, only to fall behind financially. I personally watched my father dedicate his life to the oil field, working grueling hours, only to have his company go bankrupt—wiping out his pension, retirement, and benefits overnight.
That moment changed me.
I set out to understand how to break that cycle. I attended Texas Tech University, studying cybersecurity with a minor in finance. But like many, I was impacted by the tail end of the COVID-19 crisis, when Texas Tech defaulted one of my student loans. I found myself in a blue-collar job at a prestigious security alarm company, where I worked for three years—building up my own foundation so I could finally pursue my dream: helping families like mine secure their financial futures.
Today, I’m licensed in the state of Texas to provide a wide range of financial services and still actively pursuing additional licensing to expand what I can offer. At DPB Financial, our mission is simple:
No family left behind.
Ty Brooks – Co-Founder of DPB Financial
I'm Ty Brooks. My brother Dawson and I started this financial journey together, fueled by a deep desire to change the financial future of families like ours.
We grew up watching our parents work hard and sacrifice. To this day, my mother still works long nights as an accountant at a large car dealership. She's paid fairly, but the issue isn't her income—it’s her lack of financial preparation as she nears retirement. Like many hardworking Americans, all she has is a small, underperforming 401(k).
It wasn’t until recently that we finally convinced her to sit down with us and explore better options. We know how discouraging it can be to realize—after a lifetime of work—that you’ve been left out of wealth-building opportunities. That’s why we’re here: to share the knowledge most people never receive, so you don’t end up in the same position.
Like Dawson, I also attended Texas Tech University and earned a bachelor’s degree in Applied Economics. I began my career as an account manager at a major corporate bank (gross, I know), but like many recent grads, I quickly realized it wasn’t enough to support real life. Eventually, I joined Dawson at the same prestigious security alarm company, where we worked to build savings and fund our dream: helping the people traditional financial institutions often overlook.
Now, as a licensed financial professional in Texas, I get to live that dream every day.
I’m a husband, a father, and I’ve got another child on the way. I understand how unpredictable life can be. That’s why we created DPB Financial—to help families like yours stop gambling with their future and start building lasting financial freedom.
