Personal
Ryan grew up in Grand Haven, MI, and started kicking a soccer ball once he learned to walk. As a Buccaneer, he thrived in the competitive environment of great soccer games. When not competing on the soccer field, you could find Ryan working at his family’s ice cream business. While working there, Ryan learned about having a good work ethic and gained insights into how the business world operates.
After graduating from high school, Ryan went on to lead the Bronco’s Soccer Team at Western Michigan University. Through many summers of ice cream scooping and engaging in real estate, Ryan discovered his true calling: becoming a Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual.
Ryan now resides in Spring Lake, MI, with his son Cayden and daughter Maddison. He enjoys spending time with his family and considers being a dad one of the best things in the world. Ryan is very active with his family, spending summers on their boat and winters skiing with his kids. His additional hobbies include playing golf, coaching soccer, and capturing memorable moments of his kids on camera.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
