Ryan started his career in financial services driven by a genuine passion for markets, economics, and history. What began as an interest in understanding how the world works grew into an appreciation for financial strategy and problem-solving. Over time, his work expanded into helping clients evaluate financial decisions and understand how those decisions may impact their long‑term financial situations. He values long‑term client relationships and the opportunity to support clients as they implement their financial plans.

Ryan’s professional experience at Edward Jones, Northern Trust, and Scheffel Financial informs his approach to serving clients. From guiding families through long-term investing to coordinating complex investment, tax, and estate strategies, each step has shaped his approach to serving clients with integrity and care. Ryan holds the Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) designation and is Certified in Blockchain and Digital Assets.

He incorporates both traditional financial planning concepts and emerging industry knowledge into his approach. Joining Visionary Wealth Advisors was a natural fit—an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded professionals who value transparency, purpose, and lasting impact.

Rooted in St. Louis Hills, Ryan finds balance in family life with his wife, Clare, and their three children, Hannah, Calvin, and Jane. Away from the office, he enjoys playing hockey, golf, and cooking, often sharing these passions with friends and loved ones. Whether on the rink or in the market, he approaches every challenge with focus, teamwork, and strategy—qualities that guide both his life and his work as an advisor.
