I have been in the insurance & financial services business for 32 years, wow! I was the owner of Ryan Insurance & Financial Services, Inc for 23 years. We were an exclusive agent for Nationwide for the first 12 years and then Independent agent for the next 11 years. I sold the agency 4 years ago. For those 23 years I also was licensed with my Series 6 and sold annuities, mutual funds and life insurance. 3 years ago I left Nationwide Securities and joined Prudential Advisors.
Present day I own my own Prudential Advisors firm in Daytona Beach. I love what I do and it’s never felt like a job from day one. I really enjoy helping people. The majority of my time is spent working on income planning for my clients.
