Bryan Dern

Hi, I’m Bryan. I’m a wealth advisor based in the Chicagoland area, working with my dad and brother to support clients as they enter and move through retirement.I help clients build retirement plans that address income, taxes, Social Security, Medicare, Required Minimum Distributions, and other retirement-related decisions. The strategies used to build retirement savings are often different from the strategies used to live on those assets, so I focus on helping clients understand how their money may support their lifestyle over time.
