After a year of interning for a senior advisor at Renaissance Financial, Ryan
knew he found his home. The invaluable learning experience consistently
displayed to him the firm’s teamwork philosophy – that every member of the
company works together to help ensure the financial success of each client.
The internship proved how much he enjoys working with retirees,
professionals and young families to help ensure a healthy financial future and
prepare for a successful retirement.
While attending Saint Louis University (SLU), Ryan graduated magna cum
laude and received a degree in business administration with a concentration
in finance and a minor in music. In addition, he earned inductions into Beta
Gamma Sigma, an international honor society that recognizes a limited
number of students exemplifying the very best in business studies, and Alpha
Sigma NU, a Jesuit honor society which identifies students who demonstrate
an intelligent appreciation of, and commitment to, ideals of Jesuit education,
focusing on scholarship, loyalty and service. Ryan went on to attain his Life,
Accident, and Health Insurance Agent license and his FINRA Series 7 and 66
registrations. He has also earned the Certified Fund Specialist® (CFS®)
designation and the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM (CFP®) certification.
Ryan’s ability to excel in academics has yielded the same results within the
industry. In 2016, Ryan received the Excellence in Performance Award* and

was named a member of the Focus Club* by Securian Financial Services Inc.
for his production in the firm. In a further display of his commitment to his
clients and the firm, Ryan became a Shareholder of Renaissance Financial in
2021.
Ryan’s dedication to the community is evident in the immense time he
spends giving back to St. Louis. While at SLU, Ryan participated in the Service
Leadership Certificate Program, which provides undergraduate business
students the opportunity to develop and hone their leadership skills while
serving the St. Louis community. As a result, he earned a Service Leadership
Certificate, which is awarded to students that complete 300 service hours and
24 leadership workshops. Most of his service hours were spent at Food
Outreach, a food pantry whose mission is to provide nutritional support and
enhance the quality of life of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS or
cancer.
Ryan grew up in Jefferson City, MO, and now resides in St. Louis with his wife,
Genevieve. In his spare time he enjoys continuing his community service as
well as playing the piano and keeping music as an integral part of his life.
