Josh Caucutt
LBA Vice President
My practice is focused on helping clients find the right strategy for their financial future. You and I work together to make sure that all of your strategies and investments are in alignment with your needs and goals. I aim to serve every family or individual with diligence, integrity and understanding.
Clients sometimes find that my previous careers in higher education and small construction businesses play a valuable role in my ability to understand their unique goals and balance the sometimes-competing priorities encountered by families, small business owners and those on the cusp of retirement.
Originally from Wisconsin – yes, I am a Packer fan – my family and I moved to Lakewood in 2008. Sarah, my wife, teaches third grade and we have three teenage children: Elise, Eliana and Elijah, a dog named Tula and a rabbit named Pemberley. Our favorite front range hike is Beaver Brook Trail, our favorite campground is Lost Park and we love to ski Steamboat Springs every year! My son, Elijah, and I are still looking for a favorite fishing spot…

Todd Brown
Madison Commercial Properties

Commercial Real Estate Broker/Advisor
Leasing office space is my specialty. Years of working with both landlords and tenants has given me the ability to understand the motivations of each side as we work through lease negotiations. Many business owners do not realize the importance of working with a real estate broker to lease space, but the leasing process can be very complicated; almost as challenging as buying a house. As I see it, my biggest responsibility is to educate my clients and ensure that they fully understand all of the details of a transaction. Want to buy or sell commercial property? I can help with that too!
