Together we make better decisions
Brad joined what is now the Financial Design Group in 1989 and founded Center Street Partners at the end of 2011. He values the synergy that comes from independent advisors choosing to work together, striving to create better outcomes for business owners and their clients alike.
Preserving the purchasing power of wealth is one of Brad's most important objectives. He has been influenced by Austrian Economics, monetary history, and economic cycles, and brings that lens to long-term financial planning for individuals, business owners, and young executives and couples.
"The bottom line is that Brad helps people make smart decisions about their money, aligning their financial goals with the foundational values by which they live. That harmony can aim to create financial confidence."
Brad's business life is blended with his faith and serving others. He has a weekly mentoring role with young ministry leaders, including overseas ministries working to change cultures. He has no plans to retire; he simply loves what he does.
Jay Hinkel is a financial advisor with Financial Design Group, bringing a fresh perspective shaped by an unconventional and diverse professional background. Originally from Michigan, Jay now proudly calls Winona Lake home, where he lives with his wife and newborn daughter.
Before entering the financial advisory world, Jay built experience across business analytics in the orthopedic industry, occupational therapy, and asset management in the digital asset space. This cross-disciplinary foundation gives him a distinctive lens on risk, inflation, and long-term value creation, grounded in data, adaptability, and real-world problem-solving.
"True financial freedom isn't simply about growing wealth; it's about preserving it through wisdom and stewardship."
When he's not working with clients, Jay can be found training in jiu-jitsu, refereeing rugby games, and reading about the principles that underpin lasting financial health, always looking for better ways to align his clients' futures with sound monetary values.

Every culture rests on a three-legged stool: Faith, Family, and Finance. All three matter, but they don't matter in the same way. Faith shapes eternity. Family shapes identity. And Finance, though often misunderstood, shapes the stability of everything else.
