Brooks Panhans is a Dallas–Fort Worth native who grew up in Plano, Texas. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Cornell University and has built his career around helping individuals, families, and business owners make informed financial decisions with confidence.
Brooks takes a personalized, goals-based approach to wealth planning, working closely with clients to align their financial resources with their long-term objectives.
Prior to joining Smith Anglin, Brooks served as an Advisor at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, where he partnered with high-net-worth clients to address all aspects of their financial lives—including retirement planning, investment management, wealth preservation, and multigenerational planning.
Outside the office, Brooks enjoys golf, fitness, and reading, and is an avid college football fan. Above all, he values spending quality time with family and friends.
“The most successful financial outcomes rarely happen by accident, they are the result of thoughtful planning, disciplined execution, and ongoing review. I’m proud to be part of a team that helps our clients turn uncertainty into opportunity through a deliberate, planning-driven approach focused on achieving their long-term goals.”
