YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER
Garrett Van Nostrand is one of the fiduciary financial advisors our clients have the benefit of working with at our fee-only wealth management firm. Garrett is a San Diego State University alumnus. He also led the launch of our Austin location in 2024.
Garrett began working for Van Nostrand Wealth Management in 2019. While working part-time and attending San Diego State, he became increasingly interested in investing and the diverse and complex problem-solving that goes into financial planning. With his mom as the firm’s founder, he says it’s always been part of his DNA. Although he graduated from SDSU, he continued his education in investments by pursuing the CFA Charter. He passed Level 1 & 2 and am currently studying for the 3rd and final exam.
He really enjoys reading and listening to podcasts. He's definitely a history nerd but also enjoys reading about wilderness adventures, books on Christianity, and is a sucker for a good biography (Teddy Roosevelt is the most interesting human ever, in case you were wondering). You can see some of his recent favorite reads on our website’s Book Club and he's always looking for more recommendations. He's a lifelong athlete and love the outdoors. His happy place is hiking through the mountains and since he's still searching for the mountains here in Texas, he's spent vacations hiking in places like Yosemite. But in Austin, he makes sure he's always playing a sport, and he ran my first marathon in February 2025. Some of the more relaxing things he enjoys are playing golf and watching sports (although as a diehard Padres fan this admittedly can be the most stressful part of my week). Since moving to Austin in January 2024, he has gone to an alarming amount of country concerts and have really enjoyed growing my community here, especially my community at Red Rocks Church.
