Introducing our Newest Pathway Team Member

We are excited to share some important news about the continued growth of Pathway Financial Advisors and the resources available to support you on your financial journey.

We are pleased to welcome Ryan Schwingler as the newest member of the Pathway Financial team.

Ryan brings 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, beginning his career as a financial advisor before moving into several corporate leadership roles at Thrivent Financial. During his time there, he helped design insurance and investment solutions, built training programs for financial advisors, and most recently coached executive leaders on attracting new talent to the profession. His background gives him a unique blend of hands-on advisory experience, deep product knowledge, and a strong commitment to developing others.

Throughout his career, Ryan has focused on helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of their financial lives. His mission aligns closely with ours: empowering clients to move from uncertainty to confidence, from dependence to independence, and ultimately toward financial surplus. Ryan holds Series 7, 66, and 24 registrations with FINRA and has a CFP®, ChFC®, and CLU®—credentials that reflect both his expertise and his dedication to serving clients with excellence.

Outside of work, Ryan and his wife Becky live in Minneapolis with their two sons, Emil and Ovie. They enjoy spending time together at their family cabin and embracing all that Minnesota has to offer.

We are confident that Ryan’s experience, values, and client-centered approach will be a tremendous asset to our team and to the families we serve. You can expect the same level of care and continuity you’ve always received from us, now strengthened by the addition of another highly skilled professional.

Please join us in welcoming Ryan to Pathway Financial Advisors. We look forward to the opportunity for you to meet him soon.

Warm regards,
Bob, Jeff, and Wen
