The Firm
Bridlewood Private Wealth is an independent, fee-only fiduciary firm providing financial planning and investment management to individuals, families, and business owners.
We work closely with clients to understand their financial lives, what matters to them, and what they are working toward. From there, we help them navigate the financial decisions that come with each stage of life.
Tax efficiency is a major focus of how we manage wealth. We look closely at where investments are held, when gains and losses are realized, how income is generated, and how investment decisions interact with the rest of a client’s life. We believe one of the most effective ways to enhance performance is by minimizing the impact of taxes.
At the center of our work is a genuine sense of responsibility to the people we serve. We approach that responsibility with care and integrity. That means being available, paying attention to the details, and staying closely involved in the decisions that shape our clients’ financial lives.
Our Founder
Ryan began his career at Lord, Abbett & Co., a global asset manager, where he focused on delivering investment advice to financial advisors. The role gave him a broad view of how portfolios are constructed and how investment strategy translates into real outcomes for clients. Over time, he found himself drawn to the other side of that relationship, working directly with the end client. In 2020, he made that move, joining RBC Wealth Management as a financial advisor.
At RBC, he formed a team specializing in portfolio management for private clientele, where he managed over $350 million in client assets. Under his leadership, the team was named to the Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams list in back-to-back years.
His goal was always to build a wealth management firm centered on his own views and values. In 2026, he left to do exactly that, and founded Bridlewood Private Wealth.
Ryan lives in Shrewsbury, New Jersey with his wife, Amanda, their son, Alan, and their golden retriever, Jasper.
