Marion (Dickie) Brawley III is the senior partner of The Brawley Wagner Financial Group and for nearly 40 years has enjoyed guiding his clients as their financial advisor. After serving in the US Marine Corp during Vietnam, he received his Bachelor of Arts from Hampden Sydney College, followed by a Master of Business Administration from The American Graduate School of International Management (“Thunderbird.”)

He began his career as a financial advisor in 1978, with training and certification through Merrill Lynch in New York City, after which he and his wife, Joan, moved to Winter Haven to work in the new Merrill Lynch office and raise their four now-adult children. Eager to continue his knowledge and skill in protecting and growing his clients' portfolios, in 2003, he earned the designation of a Certified Investment Manager Analyst (CIMA®), which supports his practice of facilitating clients and small corporations with manager selection and asset allocation.

In his spare time, Dickie is an avid woodworker, and especially enjoys making 18th century furniture reproductions. Joan, an Episcopal priest, and Dickie are blessed to have five grandsons ages six to two years old who keep them very busy and worn out when they come to visit in Winter Haven.
