For 14 years, he worked in the insurance/finance industry, beginning with estate planning on the finance/insurance side. Though he found considerable success, he was unfulfilled by the work. During this period, he purchased a commercial insurance company, which proved to be an unsuccessful venture, leading him to sell it back to the firm.

This circumstance led to his introduction to the Medicare space, where he currently operates.LINKS & RESOURCESConnect with Ryan on LinkedIn
