The team’s members include Jeremy Beakes, senior vice president; Adam VanDamme, financial advisor; and staffers Meredith Clark and Leticia Glenn-Jones. The group has a collective 90 years of experience.
“Our team’s mission is to provide stewardship and guidance to help our clients protect and grow their legacy,” Brinkley said in a statement. “We are confident that we can continue to provide the best possible service to our clients at RBC Wealth Management.”

Beakes started at BB&T in 2004, according to BrokerCheck, while VanDamme started at UBS in 2014 and joined BB&T in 2017.
