A steady year that saw him grow his AUM by 14% and client base to 180 landed Colin Ryan in the number 11 spot on the Top 50 Advisors List. Ryan has had a drive to help people with their finances since he was just 16 years old. “I grew up with a single mom and didn’t have much money and saw firsthand the struggles one can go through,” he says, “so I wanted to help other people reach financial independence.”
Seeing other families flourish under his guidance has been one of the most rewarding parts of the job for Ryan, who points to one particular client as an example. “She was widowed 23 years ago with four young kids,” she says. “We worked hard for her over the years, and it is so gratifying 23 years later to see how all the kids have turned out great, are starting families and everyone is doing so well. It just makes me so happy to have been a key part of her journey.”
Despite having been in the industry for 26 years, Ryan feels he’s only in the “noon” of his career and says he still has many good years ahead of him. “This is a business that, if you enjoy it, you can do for a very long time,” he says.
