About Me
I'm Brian Lawrence, a partner and financial advisor at North Ridge. I have a passion for turning dreams into financial realities.Q: Where are you from?
A: I grew up in the tight-knit farming community of Royal City, Washington. Farm life teaches you the value of a dollar and how to work hard.
Q: What inspired you to enter the world of financial planning?
A: In high school, my dad pulled my siblings and I aside to let us know that Grandpa Hervey had gifted each of us a few shares of stock in several companies. How to invest going forward was up to us. My dad helped me call his stockbroker at the time, and I remember learning about interest, dividends, and how the stock market works. It was a hook, line, and sinker moment—I was captivated.
Q: Where did you go to school?
A: After graduating high school, I went on to Linfield University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Finance and a minor in Economics. I’ve also gone on to earn my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.
Q: Why North Ridge?
A: I founded North Ridge so I could do the right thing for clients. Period. I love being part of a team that helps individuals define success on their terms. Whether it's securing a comfortable retirement, building a robust investment portfolio, or weathering life's financial storms, I'm here to guide you.
Q: What do you do when you aren’t working?
A: I love spending time with my wife and our two kids – a daughter and a son – who keep life exciting and remind me daily why financial planning matters so much. It's not just about numbers; it's about creating a future where they can spread their wings without worry. I also love mountaineering, backpacking, and woodworking.
Being a financial advisor isn't just a job for me. I'm passionate about helping you navigate the financial maze, armed with a personalized strategy that suits your unique goals. So, let's chat, let's dream, and let's map a path to success – whatever that looks like for you.

Wealthtender exists to help people discover the most trusted and authentic financial advisors and educators in the finance community.

Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Help ensure your review is useful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Be objective. Try to highlight both positives and negatives in your review, even if your experience skews heavily in one direction.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable for others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harrassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscentities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identity another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are useful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the review in question and reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
