The best! Ryan has helped us with a lot over the past few years (e.g., student loans, life insurance, buying a house, saving for retirement, choosing benefits, refinancing). He’s been beyond worth it for our pockets and peace of mind.
My wife and I initially contacted Ryan around the time we got married. I had fairly substantial student loans and I felt that I needed advice about the best approach for paying them down while continuing to address all the other financial needs of our growing family. What started as a need to address what to do with my student loans quickly grew into a holistic look at our financial picture. Flash forward several years, my student loans are consolidated and being aggressively paid down (so close), and we have an accurate understanding of how to prioritize our spending and savings to do the things we value most with the resources we have. In the many years we've worked with Ryan, he's saved us money by helping us make financial adjustments both big and small. He set us up for financial success with everything from saving for vacation, to buying a new home, to planning for our daughter's future, to our retirement. I cannot recommend Ryan enough.
We've been working with Ryan for the past few years, and his guidance has been invaluable. As a two-teacher household with kids, maximizing our income and planning for the future is a top priority—and Ryan has helped us do exactly that. Thanks to his expertise, we've gained financial clarity and confidence, and as an unexpected bonus, we haven't had a single argument about money since we started working with him. Financial advisor + marriage counselor in one?! The peace of mind he's provided is worth far more than the monthly fee.
We worked with Ryan to help us prepare for and navigate through a period of transitions in our lives. Ryan is skillful in balancing our differing approaches and attitudes towards money. He thoughtfully guided us towards our personal goals while helping us manage risks. He empowered us with the knowledge and advice to better understand and handle our money moving forward.
My spouse and I engaged in a 90-minute focused session with Ryan to tackle two urgent financial inquiries, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Our discussion was fruitful as we explored various options with Ryan, leading us to devise a clear action plan for both matters we raised with Ryan. It is great that Ryan offers this type of service, and I wholeheartedly endorse him for both one-time consultations and continuous financial planning support.
