Brad Towne
Brad Towne serves as a Vice President and Banker at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, where he advises ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutions on customized wealth management strategies spanning investment planning, portfolio structuring, and long-term legacy development. His practice is focused on founders and executives in aerospace, defense, and deep technology.
A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, his military service established a foundation in leadership, accountability, and mission-driven execution that continues to shape how he operates in complex, high-stakes financial environments. Brad began his career as a machinist in Dayton, Ohio before serving in the Marine Corps, then went on to engineering and strategy roles at leading aerospace firms in the South Bay of Los Angeles, supporting national security and commercial space programs. He also served in strategy and policy roles at U.S. Space Command, and is a plank-holder of that unit. It is a background that translates directly into the language of the founders, engineers, and executives he serves today — allowing him to engage clients not just as a trusted financial advisor, but as someone who has operated in the same complex, high-consequence environments they navigate every day.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, a Master of Science in Economics from Johns Hopkins University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Known for a disciplined, relationship-driven approach, Brad combines deep institutional expertise with a hands-on, client-first mindset. His commitment to veteran leadership and community impact is reflected in his active involvement in the veteran and deep tech communities, alongside the work of private banking.
