YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER
Garrett Van Nostrand is one of the fiduciary financial advisors at our 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. Garrett became a CFA charterholder in April 2026.
He really enjoys reading and listening to podcasts. He's definitely a history nerd but also enjoys reading about wilderness adventures, books on his faith, 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 Garrett's 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. In Austin, he makes sure he's always playing a sport, and he ran his first marathon in February 2025. Since moving, he's also gone to an alarming amount of country concerts and has really enjoyed growing his community at Austin Life Church. But what he enjoys the most is spending time with his fiancée, Lauren.
