Brad Lawing, Heather Heckadon, Kerry Lawing (CEO), Marcia Vander Wal, Andrew Stafford
CEO
After 30-plus years owning and operating Lawing Financial, Kerry Lawing suddenly had the unique opportunity to hit reset. In 2017, Kerry sold Lawing Financial – the company he founded in 1985 and grew to over $5 Billion in assets under advisement. He built a close-knit team, with the vision of disrupting an age-old industry, and founded Prevail Innovative Wealth Strategies. Kerry believes the financial industry is broken and that there is a better solution than the traditional advice advisors typically offer. He is driven by impacting the lives of those around him; dedicating himself to growing people, advisors and businesses. Exceptionalism is his passion and Kerry has a history of delivering on that expectation.
