Meet the Team

Christian D’Urso is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of TradeWinds Wealth Management. With nearly two decades of experience, he helps families preserve and grow wealth through active management, flexible allocation strategies, and integrated financial planning.

Christian earned his bachelor’s degree from The Evergreen State College and a Master of Science in Physics from University of Washington. His analytical training informs a disciplined, data-driven investment process focused on navigating increasingly complex markets.

He lives in Rhode Island with his wife, Bridge, and their dog, Simon. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors—whether in the woods, on the water, or in the garden.

Paul joined our team after spending a decade in Human Resources, where he specialized in employee benefits and retirement plan administration.  His favorite thing about Human Resources was educating employees and consulting with them so that they understood their options and felt confident in their decisions, and he brings that same mentality to his role as a Wealth Advisor.  As a licensed advisor, Paul enjoys working with clients on financial planning, investment strategy, and making sure they have the proper risk management in place for life’s curveballs.  

Paul received his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Oregon State University and his master’s degree in Business Administration from Portland State University.  In his free time, he enjoys watching college football (Roll Tide!), competing in slow pitch softball, playing video games with friends, and spending time with his wife Allison, son James, daughter Marjorie, and labradoodle Dennis.

With over a decade of experience as a Financial Advisor, Brandon is passionate about helping clients pursue their financial goals with clarity and confidence. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Finance, with a minor in Economics, from Oregon State University in 2014.

Committed to staying ahead in an ever-evolving financial landscape, Brandon prioritizes ongoing education and adaptability to deliver thoughtful, tailored strategies. His approach empowers clients to make informed decisions and feel confident about their financial future.

Brandon lives in Portland with his wife, two dogs, and their cat. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, golfing, and cheering on the Portland Timbers, Thorns, and Trail Blazers alongside family and friends.
