Brown was formerly a managing director and wealth adviser at U.S. Trust, a unit of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Brown, who will also serve on Dynasty's board of directors, has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. Last year Brown's team was 28th in Barron's listing of the Top 100 Financial Advisors.
