Hi, I'm Ryan! Originally from Minnesota, I found my calling in financial services in 2000, driven by a passion for helping people create financial plans that align with their goals and dreams. With a degree in Business Administration and Spanish from Aquinas College and earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, I’ve dedicated my career to guiding clients through every stage of life.
Rooted in Community and Family
West Michigan has been my home for years, and I’m deeply connected to the community. From being recognized as a 40 Under Forty honoree by the Grand Rapids Business Journal to my involvement with the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, I value the relationships I’ve built both in and outside my profession.
At home in Rockford, life is always active and full with my wife, Dawn, and our four kids—Abigail, Claire, Landon, and Carter. Whether coaching soccer at West Catholic High School, cheering from the sidelines at hockey games, or spending time on the lake, my family keeps me grounded and energized. With some of our kids now off to college, we cherish every opportunity to come together and make new memories.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about traveling, catching soccer matches, and soaking up Michigan’s great outdoors. Growtrust has been an incredible journey, and our client-first approach inspires me daily.
If you’re ready to explore your financial goals or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out by phone, email, or through our website. I’m here to help.
