Holbrook is launching Coastline Wealth Advisory of LPL Financial in Irvine, California.
According to his BrokerCheck report, Holbrook has 20 years of experience and had been affiliated with UnionBanc since 2004.

“By joining LPL Financial, I am working with a firm that puts the advisor first and offers the support, technology and investment solutions necessary to run a premier practice,” he said in a statement. “As a Linsco advisor, I have a more liberated way of doing business and I can provide my clients with unbiased advice in their best interests. I also have more flexibility to tailor my offerings to their individual needs and offer a wider range of investment options.”
