Who We Are

A. Sidney Browning, CFP®

Investment Advisor, CEO

I have been helping clients improve their financial strength for more than 30 years. I take a personal approach to understand your situation and bring ideas and solutions to help grow your wealth, achieve your goals and provide some peace around investing and spending money.

Working at Merrill Lynch in New York, during and after college, I learned investment dynamics. At Fidelity Investments, I was promoted several times and recognized for my success in helping clients. I earned the Certified Financial Planner™ designation in 2001 and still have clients that go back that far with me.

In 2010, Keith and I formed Integras Partners to protect our freedom to keep our clients’ best interests paramount. In 2019, I launched Generational Conversations to guide adult children and elder parents through proactive planning for housing, care management, investment continuity, legal strategies and security.

I am a third-generation Rotarian and serve as a director of my local club. I’m a big baseball fan, enjoy music, good meals, the arts, and golf. My wife and I are active volunteers and split our time between New England and Florida. I hope we get a chance to connect soon!

Keith Johnson

Investment Advisor, Chief Investment Officer

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told, ‘You guys are different’, fortunately, in a complimentary manner. We are different because of one major factor: we really know our clients. Quite simple when you think about it, and it should be the standard everywhere. But it isn’t.

Our financial planning and investment process is the product of over 30 years of working with clients through all phases of life and just about every economic and market environment anyone alive today has ever experienced. That experience has led us to continually refine our process to truly capture our client’s needs and desires and build a unique investment plan around how they want to live life. Then deliver it.

Planning and investing is not about answering ten questions about how you feel about risk and what year you will retire. It is about what is going to make you happy and let you sleep at night knowing you can live life the way you want to.

That is my mission every single day – to make our clients comfortable with the knowledge they are going to get there, stay there and have the peace of mind to live life to the fullest.

This firm is built to serve real people with real expertise and real outcomes. Nothing short of that is acceptable to me.

That is why we are different and we are happy to be so.

Michal-Erin Frushell, CFA®

Investment Advisor, EVP

My desire to help people reach their unique financial goals and dreams is what motivates me every day.

I joined Integras Partners in 2022 bringing a deep background in investment research and due diligence, but wanting to broaden my impact on people’s lives, as investment management is just one piece of the financial wellness puzzle. There are many Financial Advisors out there, and I had worked with a lot of them in my career. Integras Partners is truly different. I was immediately impressed by the dedication and thoughtfulness applied to each client relationship, and am proud to continue that mission.

I am a CFA® charterholder and member of the CFA Society Atlanta. The CFA charter exemplifies a strong understanding of investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills, and has a strong emphasis on ethics.

Prior to joining Integras Partners, I was a Senior Analyst on the investment due diligence team at Advisor Group, where I was responsible for researching and vetting investment managers and vehicles ranging from mutual funds to complex alternative investments. I also spent several years prior serving institutional clients in various securities operations roles.

I hold a BS in Economics from Binghamton University. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, painting and spending time with friends.
