Ryan Grove

Ryan advises DBR & CO’s private wealth management clients on the development and implementation of financial planning and investment strategies. He approaches client relationships with curiosity and empathy, encouraging perspectives that enable those he advises to live purposeful, intentional lives. By taking an educational approach, he teaches clients how to leverage their resources to create sustainable financial environments, allowing them to live their lives on their own terms.

Ryan started his career in financial planning in 2009 with a large life insurance company. He experienced early success, and remained a solo-practice advisor for 5 years before joining a local wealth management firm to be their Director of Financial Planning. Ryan remained with the firm for 6 years, serving his last 2 years as the firm’s Vice President. In 2020, Ryan launched Modus Vivendi, a wealth advisory firm focused on reframing our perception of wealth. The firm’s philosophy was that humans can do incredible things when placed in the proper environment, and Ryan knew that he could use his financial planning skills to help clients build that environment for themselves.

He lives in the South Hills area with his wife, Jillian, and two sons. His passions include traveling, photography, golf, soccer, hiking, camping, playing guitar and drums, skateboarding, motorcycle riding, Tang Soo Do, and doing his part to destigmatize mental health. If he isn’t doing any of his other passions, then he’s probably working on his favorite hobby: trying something new.
