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.
