Our Story and Services
As the financial world becomes more complex, careful planning and tailored, objective advice becomes even more important to achieving your life goals.
At The Blackbriar Group, we offer a personalized approach to family wealth management. As our name implies, we focus on finding solutions to help simplify your financial life, so you can spend more time enjoying the wealth you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
For more than 53 collective years*, we have been serving the specialized needs of financially successful families, professionals and business owners locally and across the country. We are a family financial advisory practice, offering the continuity and balance of perspectives that help you, your parents and your children make more informed, confident decisions about your wealth.
We believe wealth is about more than your investment portfolio. It’s about your life and the people, passions and pursuits that give your life purpose. Our consultative approach focuses on your full financial picture – from putting your children through college and preparing for retirement to caring for aging parents and legacy planning.
When you work with us, you experience a fully-engaged standard of care that prioritizes your best interests and reflects your family values. We are proud of the “high-touch” service we provide and welcome the opportunity to deliver this same level of excellence to you and your family.

What Sets Us Apart
We come to work every day focused on helping make a real difference your life. The following core values serve as the cornerstone of our practice and underscore our commitment to an exceptional client experience.
A Deep Passion for Helping Others
You work hard to build wealth in pursuit of a meaningful life and your achievements reflect substantial effort. We work just as hard on your behalf, committing our experience, skills and insights to helping you achieve your particular goals. Every decision we make together will be focused on doing the right thing for you. We help simplify your financial life, offering solutions for your consideration with unbiased and objective advice.
We Treat You Like Family
We are dedicated to building deep relationships, based on trust and integrity. We do this by working with a select group of clients who value our depth of knowledge in providing comprehensive solutions that go well beyond investments. The bonds we form are fundamental to our mission, and it is our intention that they span generations. In fact, some of our clients have been with us for nearly three decades.
A Team Approach
You deserve the best advice possible. As a result, we have assembled a team of highly skilled professionals whose number one priority is you and your family. We work in collaboration with your accountant and estate planning attorney to gain the precise knowledge needed to effectively manage all aspects of your wealth.
Your One-Stop Financial Shop
Our goal is to offer advice and service before you know you need it and to respond to every request or question immediately. We take the time to ensure you understand all your options and how each option impacts your overall financial picture. Whether you need assistance with asset protection strategies or income planning, we want to be your first phone call for any financial decision.
Helping Reach Your Goals
We are an experienced team of professionals focused on the disciplines of financial planning and investment management with an enduring commitment to exceptional client service each step of the way.
Step 1: Initial Conversation
We begin with an informal discussion to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can help add value to your situation. As we agree to move forward, we’ll schedule our next meeting and request important information about your finances (our input form is located in our “Knowledge Center” tab.)
Step 2: Face-to-Face Meeting
We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions, review the information you’ve prepared and begin to define your priorities.
Step 3: Analysis and Strategy Development
Here, we utilize both strategic and technical financial planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed strategy to answer such important questions as “Can I retire in my current lifestyle?”, “What is my net worth?”, and “Do I have enough insurance?” This information serves as the foundation for building your initial plan, as well as future investment decisions.
Step 4: Recommendations and Implementation
In this step, we present investment options that, once executed, are designed to work together in an effort to achieve your goals and preserve your wealth. Upon your approval, we’ll execute the investment strategies and begin to implement the other wealth management recommendations we discussed. These often encompass risk management, as well as estate planning, trust and philanthropic strategies.
Step 5: Service, Service, Service
Committed to a premium client experience, we focus on developing a relationship that can provide value to you and your family. As we begin to implement each strategy, you’ll work directly with our dedicated team of professionals. We have designed a “high touch” client experience to welcome you to the Blackbriar Group family.

About Erik Johnson
Erik D. Johnson CRPC® - Senior Vice President - Wealth Management, Family Wealth Advisor, Financial Advisor
A seasoned professional for more than 29 years, Erik enjoys working with financially successful individuals and families, providing personalized advice through a disciplined wealth management approach. His extensive financial background enables him to help clients achieve their retirement goals, while building a diversified investment portfolio.
A graduate of the University of Washington where he earned his B.A. degree in Economics, Erik began his career in financial services in 1991 as an intern at Merrill Lynch. It is here where he first met Ken Schiewetz. Erik and Ken formalized their partnership – The Schiewetz, Johnson Group – in 1997. Twenty years later, they joined Morgan Stanley and have been valuable members of the firm ever since. Over the past two years, they have expanded their practice to include industry veteran Financial Advisors, Michael Hart and Ryan Harrigan, branding their new team The Blackbriar Group to recognize how they work together to find some of the best solutions for today’s thorny thicket of financial challenges.
Throughout his career, Erik has developed a strong understanding of economics and is well versed in the equity and fixed income markets. He has cultivated skills in active and passive investing, alternative investments, and tax-efficient investing. By advising his clients on how to help effectively grow, preserve, and transition their wealth, he has earned a reputation for being a valued advisor.
Erik’s desire to help others is equaled only by his dedication to his community and his family. Over the years, he has been active with many organizations, including Friends United to Shelter the Indigent Oppressed and Needy (F.U.S.I.O.N.) and the Federal Way Community Caregivers Network. He is a current member of the John F. Kennedy Catholic High School Endowment Committee.
Erik and Jennifer, his wife of 24 years, live in Federal Way with their two children. In his free time, he enjoys road racing bicycles for a Morgan Stanley sponsored cycling team, and travelling with his family.
