Ryan is a financial advisor at Doherty Financial Services. He previously worked at DFS before leaving to return to school full-time. However, it could be argued that he’s been with DFS his whole life due to his father, Michael Jr., and his grandfather, Mike Sr., starting the firm.
In August 2020, Ryan completed his bachelor’s degree from Eastern Connecticut State University. He has his insurance license with the state of Connecticut and holds his FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities registration through LPL Financial. In October 2022 Ryan received his designation of Accredited Wealth Management Advisor (AWMA®).
Ryan works with the DFS team alongside Michael and Ryan Pellegrini. In his role, Ryan focuses on investment research of stocks, mutual funds, and annuities. In addition to research, Ryan helps the DFS team in maintaining client portfolios, as well as servicing other client needs such as retirement plans and insurance. When it comes to insurance, Ryan is responsible for servicing existing policies and researching the best policies that would fit client needs.
Ryan was a sergeant in the Connecticut Army National Guard, where he served from 2013 to 2021 as an infantryman. Ryan was born and raised in Montville, Connecticut, and currently resides in Colchester, Connecticut, with his wife, Stacie, son Griffin, and dog Charlotte.
