About Lamont Brown, CFP®, AIF®, MBA
Hi, I'm Lamont Brown. I was born and raised in West Texas (Midland-Odessa) and joined the United States Marine Corps after graduating high school. Early on in my military career, I was recognized as a leader and I was selected to become a Marine Corps Officer. In total, I served over 15 years in Marine Corps as both an enlisted Marine and Officer being stationed in Japan, Korea, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom.My curiosity and a natural thirst for learning have helped me to succeed along the way. Coming from a humble background I knew I needed to learn more about personal finances and at an early age I took up the challenge. I realized, "If we got the money right everything else would be easier".
From my hobby, I found my passion, learning and perfecting basic money skills in my own personal finances. Throughout my Marine Corps career, I invested, and early on I opened my first Roth IRA when I was 24.
In 2006, after my tour to Iraq, I decided to change my career path and settle down in Fredericksburg. I'd achieved the rank of Captain - "The Best Rank In The Marine Corps" and realized it was time for me to focus on my most important mission, being there for my sons and family.
Transitioning out of the Marine Corps, I stayed in Telecommunications and Information Technology. Starting out I worked at MITRE and Raytheon. Over the course of four years, I received my Master of Science in Systems Engineering and Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. One of my proudest moments was being a part of the MITRE team that helped field the Inflatable Satellite Communications Antenna to the Marine Corps.
After four years in technology, I decided to follow my passion for personal finance and become a financial advisor. Starting out I worked at a traditional brokerage firm. While in traditional brokerage I gained valuable investment management and small business experience.
From there I moved to TIAA, where I found my passion for helping families prepare for retirement. At TIAA, I helped families ask and answer tough questions before and during retirement. I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNING (CFP®) Professional after passing the most traumatic exam I've taken to date.
In 2020, I founded ALNA Wealth Management to continue to help families ask and answer tough questions. ALNA Wealth Management was started to help families make better decisions and receive guidance they could trust. Shortly after starting ALNA Wealth Management, I accomplished a lifelong dream and received my Master in Business Administration (MBA).
I'm a proud husband and father of two adult sons.
In my free time, I pursue my health and fitness goals by running marathons and playing golf.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
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. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to 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 harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
