Personal

I grew up in Ankeny, Iowa and now live in Des Moines with my wife, our son, and daughters. My free time usually consists of family time, church, or playing some kind of sport. I was named after Ryne Sandberg, the Hall of Fame 2nd baseman of the Chicago Cubs, which inevitably means I’ve been a lifelong Cubs fan. I enjoy rooting for my favorite sports teams, following politics, and staying up to date with financial markets.

I’ve long held a fascination for numbers, spreadsheets, and decision-making. By identifying patterns and outliers, I seek to understand why and how decisions are made and the results they produce; this is at the heart of my interest in business and finance. At Foster Group, I’m thrilled to use this to help our clients achieve their financial dreams.
