Our Team

With more than 20 years of experience helping clients manage their financial lives, Ryan enjoys guiding people through the many moving parts of financial planning. He believes it doesn’t have to be complicated—and makes it a priority to simplify the process so clients feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way.

After graduating from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Ryan began his career at a large national firm before transitioning to CalmWater Financial Group to gain the independence needed to better serve his clients. He went on to complete the extensive training required to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. Today, he takes pride in partnering with clients, walking alongside them in their financial journey, and creating personalized strategies that reflect what matters most to them.

Ryan is especially appreciative of the trust his clients place in him and values the relationships built along the way. When asked about his passion in life, Ryan keeps it simple: family. That same focus carries over into his work, where he’s committed to helping other families build strong financial foundations and plan for the future with clarity and confidence.

Ryan and his wife, Brooke, chose Norfolk as home, where they are raising their three children, Wil, Jack, and Andi. When he’s not working, you’ll likely find Ryan on a soccer field—coaching and supporting young athletes. A longtime fan of Liverpool FC, his love of the game also led him to co-found Norfolk Football Club, which supports the development of youth soccer in the community.

Ryan is proud to have been recognized as a Summit Level advisor for 2025—a distinction based on annual production that places him among the top 35 percent of advisors affiliated with Commonwealth Financial Network.
