Ryan Wealth Management Group

Background and Experience
For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege to serve as a financial advisor to families, individuals, and institutions.  My mission is to help clients and co-workers attain their financial goals and prepare them for life’s transitions, challenges, and opportunities.

In 2003, I returned home to Monroe, LA to join my father, Herschel Ryan, at A.G. Edwards, a predecessor practice of Wells Fargo Advisors.  In 2008, I obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNINGTM designation.  The CFP® certification identifies those individuals who have met the rigorous experience and ethical requirements of the CFP® Board.  Prior to joining the financial services industry, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Louisiana State University (LSU).                                                                                             

Away from the office
Away from the office, my primary focus is helping my wife, Erica Ryan, raise our two children, Paige and Jack.  Erica is from Lake Providence, LA and is a Speech Therapist.  Community service is very important to us and we stay active with Rotary Club, United Way, Boy Scouts, and First Methodist Church of Monroe.  I have enjoyed coaching my children’s soccer, basketball, and baseball teams.  We spend our summer’s water-skiing/tubing on Bayou Desiard and the Ouachita River. I am an avid golfer and deer hunter and enjoy vacationing with family at the beach, camping in the Smoky Mountains, and snow skiing in Colorado.
