With over 20 years of dedicated experience in the industry, it has been Ryan’s honor to not only assist his own clients, but also to help over 40 financial planners in a leadership capacity at all levels in their careers. Establishing goals, creating a tailored plan to the individual or family, and ultimately achieving those goals, are truly the motivations that keep his passion for this industry strong.
A professional, in-depth analysis focusing on financial independence and retirement planning is the essence of what Ryan and the Strategic Wealth Partners team embody. Taking a holistic approach on all matters, he is able to manage a wide variety of concerns and areas of financial security.
Ryan received his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Arizona State University and has since then earned his designation as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner. In addition to his education and CFP® certification, Ryan holds the series 6, 7, 24, 31, 63, 65 registrations and multiple state Life and Health licenses. His dedication to the financial services industry has led to prestigious accolades such as Dallas Planner of the Year 2022*, ABS Director of the Year** in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 for Lincoln Financial, recipient of D Magazine’s Top Wealth Managers and Best Financial Planners*** awards in 2020, as well as recognition multiple times for outstanding leadership and production in his previous role as Divisional Vice President at AXA Advisors, LLC.
Ryan is in the best company of all when he comes home to his little girl, Nora, son Everett and beautiful wife, Britt. In his free time, Ryan loves all things cars; you’ll often find him showing his children videos of performance cars, teaching them everything he knows. He has a hidden talent for cooking and weekly date nights often consist of trying out new recipes with his wife. He also finds great joy in giving back—during his time in Arizona he was very involved in the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale and the Active Phoenix 20/30, which focuses solely on improving the lives of young children in the local community. Ryan and the SWP team are passionate about giving back to local Dallas charities and strengthening the community by regularly supporting HopeKids and Jonathan’s Place.
