In that role, he assisted three of the firm’s financial consultants by providing exceptional service to their clients and becoming an essential point of contact for many of those relationships. As he gained more experience by attending client meetings, he quickly improved his communication and investment planning acumen. Ryan’s dedication to the firm and his clients led him to a promotion to Financial Advisor in October 2022. Ryan enjoys the opportunity to educate and better serve many of the firm’s Spanish-speaking clientele.
