NPF Welcomes Lauren DeHaan Brennan, CRPC® as New Investment Advisor

NPF is pleased to announce the addition of Lauren DeHaan Brennan, CRPC®, to its team as an Investment Advisor. Lauren brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to client care, further strengthening NPF’s mission to provide personalized, thoughtful financial guidance.

Lauren joins NPF after serving as a Financial Advisor at Wells Fargo Advisors and as Vice President at Goldman Sachs. With a BA in Economics and English from Calvin University and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™ (CRPC®) designation, she brings both analytical expertise and a passion for clear communication to her role.

“What drives me is helping people gain clarity and confidence in their financial lives,” Lauren shared. “I find it deeply rewarding to walk alongside clients during times of uncertainty—especially when unexpected life events arise—and help them make well-informed, empowered decisions.”

Lauren is especially passionate about supporting women who have experienced divorce or the loss of a spouse, offering guidance and reassurance during life’s most challenging transitions. Her approach is rooted in integrity and openness—values she believes are essential to building trust and long-term relationships.

Originally from Grand Rapids, Lauren’s career began in New York City with Goldman Sachs, where she specialized in client relationship management for hedge fund clients. Her return to West Michigan marked a shift toward personal finance, aligning her professional goals with her desire to serve individuals and families in her community.

Outside of work, Lauren enjoys traveling, golfing, and spending time with her husband and two young children.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lauren to the NPF team,” said Chad Dutcher, Partner at NPF Investment Advisors. “Her experience, empathy, and dedication to client success make her a perfect fit for our firm.”

Welcome to NPF, Lauren!
