Senior Partners

PJ Horan began his career in financial services directly out of college in 2007 as a Financial Advisor. He spent 12 years at MassMutual building his practice while also expanding and improving his professional skills. He slowly and carefully built a client base helping families by using financial planning strategies centered around making college more affordable and paying for it without sacrificing retirement or other life goals.

In January of 2019, PJ joined Highlander Financial Group. The new partnership allowed for a much more robust practice and a team approach to helping serve clients. He wanted to have more time to spend helping clients as well as more freedom to help raise his young family and HFG gave him that and more.

When he isn’t working with clients, you can find PJ on the golf course or coaching one of his three kids at their sport of choice. Baseball is big in the Horan house, but basketball, flag football, and really all sports are often played around their home in Poolesville, MD.

Greg draws from a vast and diverse combination of expertise and experience as a lawyer, registered financial advisor, certified divorce financial analyst, real estate developer, and entrepreneur to provide comprehensive and individualized financial, tax, and estate planning.

Having navigated the booms of busts of commercial real estate in the late 1980s as well as the dot com debacle a decade later, and then the Great Financial Crisis over the subsequent decade, Greg distinguishes his approach away from the ever-dominant and static asset allocation pie chart model, which ignores the real time risks inherent in any current market condition, in favor of active investment management that objectively allocates based on current market fundamentals through a disciplined rules-based methodology. Greg believes that investment strategies should vary depending whether
navigating on early or late business and interest rate cycles, appreciating the reality that a 50% loss requires a gain of 100% just to break even. Consequently, he embraces both offensive as well as defensive investment and financial planning strategies, and seeks core investments which provide growth while simultaneously insulating principal from even some of the most severe market disruptions.

Perhaps most importantly, Greg works with advisory clients in a fiduciary capacity, and treats and considers those he helps as family.
