Ryan helps clients identify the goals for their money to provide advice, both in products and risk tolerances. "It's like playing darts; first, you start with the wall the board is hanging on, then you find the board and finally the target itself. This takes time and discovery, but it is ultimately worth it."

He holds a bachelor's degree in music theory and composition from Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio.

When he's not in the office, he enjoys golf, music, cars, travel, food and beverage.

He feels it's important for his clients to know that the uniqueness of his work history is something he draws on every day. "From teaching and coaching to software development, opening restaurants to being on stage, I have a diverse set of resources to pull from. I've funneled those passions into helping people with their financial matters."
