U.S. Air Force, Veteran
Hello, I’m Ryan – Air Force Veteran and co-founder of Family One Source and Beatty Marketing Group. I come from a long line of military service, so it was only natural that I joined the military too. In 2001, I enlisted in the Air Force as a F-15 Crew Chief/Maintainer. I loved being a part of the Fighter Jet world and the 12-years I spent on active duty afforded me with some amazing opportunities and experiences. I PCSed to Tyndall AFB, Florida in 2004 and was the Lead 7-Level for the 325th FW Flagship Jet. In 2009, I switched gears and became an instructor for both the F-15/F-22 HOT Training Programs and was one of the original members who established the F-15E HOT Training Program at Seymore Johnson AFB, which still operates today.
During my time spent on active duty, I experienced firsthand the benefits and challenges that military life can have on all aspects of life, especially with our finances. Frequent changes like TDY’s, deployments, and PCS’s add unique opportunities and obstacles. Not to mention, the changing and sometimes confusing military pay and benefits. Coupling those with the countless people offering advice or services, there is often a lack of clarity on how to start building a plan to reach your goals.
It was really during my time of instructing that I realized how much I enjoyed teaching and educating airmen. In 2012, when my controlled tour as an instructor ended, I left the Air Force to continue what I loved most; educating servicemen and women on how to get the most out of their military careers and money.
I primarily work with Active Duty and Veterans in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who are looking to plan for their transition from the military to the civilian world. This age range is what I refer to the “thick” of your life and often the most complex. Family, kids, home ownership, careers, and the resulting financial obligations all while trying to figure out that long-term goal of financial independence. My mission is to help Active Duty and Veterans create financial structure in their lives and BUILD wealth. I have figured out all the small yet important details…so you don’t have to.
Outside of financial planning, I enjoy spending time with family, watching sports, and I like stuff that goes fast… cars, boats, and of course jets. I follow Formula 1 and endurance car racing…. which may have played a part when creating our F1S logo.
My goal is to always leave someone with useful takeaways after they meet with me regardless of their decision to become a client. That includes cash flows, debt management, investing, insurance, taxes, as well as retirement and education planning. Making the plan is only the first step. To achieve your goals, we’ll continue to work together to implement recommendations, monitor your progress, and make any necessary changes to keep you and your goals on track.
Reach out and let’s do this – together.
