Ryan Sullivan, CFP®
Financial Planning Associate
Ryan is a Financial Planning Associate at Potomac Financial, working closely with our advisors to provide comprehensive services in personal financial planning, asset allocation, risk management, retirement, and estate planning. With over five years of experience, Ryan holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation and the FINRA Registrations Series 7 and Series 66 (through Commonwealth Financial Network®), as well as Life and Health Insurance licenses.
Ryan’s decision to pursue a career in financial planning was fueled by his desire to help others and make a lasting impact on people as they move through different seasons of their lives. “I have always been attracted to this profession because you really get to know the client on a personal level and understand what is most important to them in life, then work with them to achieve their goals.”
Prior to joining the team, Ryan attended Virginia Tech where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, with a concentration in financial planning. During his time at Virginia Tech, Ryan was actively involved in the Financial Planning Association Student Chapter and enjoyed cheering on the Hokies during football season.
Outside of work, Ryan is a proud member of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department where he volunteers as an EMT. In his free time, Ryan enjoys fishing, camping, kayaking, mountain biking, and hanging out with friends and family. Ryan and his wife, Amber, are residents of Old Town Alexandria, VA.
