[{"type":"text","content":"CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that financial advisor Brian Olson CFP®, has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. He reported having served approximately $150 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and joins LPL from Edward Jones. Located in Lincolnshire, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, Olson knew from an early age that he was destined to be a financial advisor.
