Brian and Morgan Nichols moved to Grapevine, Texas in 2015, as career opportunities brought them both to the Lone Star State. Married and proud Grapevine residents, Brian and Morgan are raising their three-year-old daughter and are grateful to call this community home.
Brian is a Principal at Baker Tilly, where he serves as part of the firm’s Risk Advisory practice helping businesses understand their cybersecurity risk and how best to protect themselves, their employees, and their customers.
Morgan is the CEO of LifeBranch Wealth Partners, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial based in Grapevine. LifeBranch Wealth Partners serves clients across Texas and throughout the country, with an intentional focus on comprehensive financial planning. Located in the heart of downtown Grapevine, the team is committed to helping families plan with purpose.
Brian and Morgan began volunteering with GRACE shortly after arriving in 2015, and their involvement has steadily grown over the past decade. Their service has included volunteering with the Christmas Cottage and Feed Our Kids programs, along with Morgan’s recent years of service on the GRACE Board.
Giving back to the local community is a core value for the Nichols family. Through their involvement, they have developed a deep appreciation for how GRACE walks alongside individuals and families working to rebuild their lives. The organization’s commitment to offering a hand up rather than a handout, along with its thoughtful stewardship of every resource entrusted to it, has further strengthened the Nichols family’s passion for GRACE’s mission.
“Brian and Morgan lead with a rare combination of humility, generosity, and genuine compassion for others,” said Rebecca Cox, CEO of GRACE. “The heart that they bring to their service beautifully reflects the mission of GRACE and mirrors our agency’s guiding standards of meeting people where they are, extending dignity and hope, and investing deeply in the well-being of our community. We are incredibly grateful for their leadership and honored to have them serve as this year’s Gala Chairs.”
