LPL Financial LLC, the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer, announced that financial advisor Digger Bujnoch and the team at Hoff Bujnoch & Associates has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, registered investment advisor and custodial platforms.

Bujnoch reported having served approximately $150 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets, and joins LPL from Lincoln Financial Advisors.

Hoff Bujnoch & Associates also includes financial planner Eric Toepfer, planning assistants Laura Mahon and Mary Beth Macke and practice manager Amy Buelterman.

Bujnoch earned a degree in finance from The University of Cincinnati.
