THE DPB FINANCIAL TEAM
Dawson Brooks – Co-Founder of DPB Financial
DPB Financial might look like a solo venture, but it was built by my brother and me — driven by one mission: to give middle-income families the same kind of financial education typically reserved for the wealthy.
We’re from small-town Texas. We watched our parents work hard and still struggle financially. My father dedicated his life to the oil field, only to lose everything — his pension, benefits, and retirement — when the company collapsed. That moment stuck with me.
After earning my degree from Texas Tech University, I worked in the security industry for several years to build my foundation. But my real passion was always financial empowerment — teaching families how to avoid the same pitfalls ours faced.
Today, I’m a licensed financial professional in Texas, committed to helping others build security through financial literacy, insurance strategies, and tailored planning. I’m still expanding my credentials, but my goal remains the same: No Family Left Behind.
Ty Brooks – Co-Founder of DPB Financial
I'm Ty Brooks, and this journey began with my brother Dawson. We grew up in a small Texas town, watching our parents work tirelessly, yet still come up short when it came to long-term financial security.
My mom still works long nights as an accountant at a car dealership. Her income isn’t the problem — it’s the lack of access to financial strategies that could have made her retirement more secure. Like many Americans, she’s relied on a single, underperforming 401(k). It wasn’t until recently that she sat down with us to explore better options.
That moment reminded me why we do this.
After earning a degree in Applied Economics from Texas Tech University, I started my career at a corporate bank — but quickly realized it wasn’t aligned with my values. I joined Dawson at a respected security company, where we spent years building the foundation for what would become DPB Financial.
Now, as a licensed financial professional in Texas, I’m honored to help families take control of their financial futures — especially the ones who’ve been overlooked or underserved. I’m a husband, a father, and soon-to-be dad of two — so I understand how unpredictable life can be.
That’s why we founded DPB Financial. To give families like yours the financial clarity and confidence we wish our own had years ago.
