[email protected]

As President and Founder of Seaside Wealth Management, Brad Lineberger is proud to run a unique, comprehensive wealth management firm that provides unbiased guidance and robust financial planning for individuals, families, and small businesses.  Brad helps his clients in clarifying their goals, navigating the issues that impact their finances, and creating financial peace for their future in retirement. 

After graduating from UCLA in the late 90s, Brad went to Wall Street to pursue his burning passion for finance. His hopes and high-minded expectations of the financial world were quickly extinguished as he experienced the incessant culture of sales and pressure to generate commissions. Brad wanted to help others, not sell to them, and so he left Wall Street and became a Firefighter in Orange County. Yet, his flame of desire for financial planning and helping others navigate retirement endured. Deciding to embark on financial planning alongside his firefighting duties, Brad dedicated over a decade to both pursuits until his retirement from the fire service in 2014. 

Dedicated to promoting financial planning in the community, Brad served on the Board of the San Diego Financial Planning Association and as a Chair of the Programs Committee.  He and his family are involved in their church, and other areas of the community.  Brad frequently volunteers his time teaching Retirement Planning Today courses at Mira Costa College. Brad has also served as a Board Member of the Carlsbad Education Foundation and the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. He is the former president of the Encinitas Education Foundation at his children’s school. 

Brad, a third generation Californian, lives in Carlsbad with his wife, Vanessa, and their four children, Luke, Jake, Rebecca, and Catherine. In his free time, Brad can be found spending time coaching his sons’ ENLL baseball teams, skiing with his daughters, golfing with his wife, or on a sunrise surf at Cardiff Reef.
