Brad enjoys flying both airplanes and helicopters, riding motorcycles, camping and spending time with his family, especially his 7 grandchildren.

Amanda Williams

President

Amanda has grown up in the family business alongside Brad since she was a young girl. She prides herself on her ability to help clients navigate the “white noise” of the financial world and loves to help folks solve problems. Amanda’s passion for helping others goes beyond the office walls where she dedicates time each month with Home Start Hope and Champion Academy.

Amanda is President at Champlin & Associates and a full-time mom. She always has something big in the works with her husband, JR, and their four children who constantly keep her on her toes. Running (besides chasing her kids) is one of her favorite free-time activities!

Jacob Champlin

Office Manager After his active duty in the USMC he returned to Rochester looking for a way to continue to help his community. If Jacob isn’t working hard managing the office and communicating with clients, he is working hard at the gym. As a powerlifter, his current competition total is 1,603.8 lbs. That includes squat (589.7 lbs), bench (336.2 lbs), and deadlift (677.9 lbs).

Katiulka “Kathi” Norton

Business Administrator

She started in 2016 after moving to NY from Colorado, where she co-owned a cafè called Durango Doughworks. She knows how to make a great donut… but we are glad Kathi is a part of our financial team! Fun fact – she grew up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, that’s also where she met her husband. Today they have three children together and love to spend time outdoors.

JR Williams

Brand Manager His passion for work is just as high as his passion for the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL team. Need the score? Name of a player? When they were born? He’s got it! Find JR watching and wearing Steelers apparel every game day! He’s got his wife, Amanda, and four kids to fully embrace his love of football.
