Bryan Scheels

Assistant Vice President & Portfolio Manager

Background Information

Bryan exemplifies a work ethic that’s something to be proud of. While managing a full-time academic schedule at Ramapo College with a cumulative GPA of 3.6/4.0, he also held down a full-time job. Bryan does not shy away from a challenge. His can-do attitude and inquisitiveness to learn is inspiring.

He knew early on that he wanted to help people. Working at Best Buy as an Assistant Manager through college, he learned how to listen to people’s needs, helping them find the best solution. Bryan now puts these skills to work as he begins his career in finance, learning how to help people create and protect their wealth.

A lover of the outdoors, he enjoys hiking and kayaking.

Bryan was born and raised in the Hudson Valley and resides in Orange County.
