Ryne Stokes, CFP^®

Ryne has been in the securities industry since 2014, but his career in finance began in 2006 while working at a local bank during college.  He earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Columbus State University and holds a professional designation as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP^®).

His interest in financial services was sparked during college, leading a colleague to suggest he switch his major to finance.  This decision aligned his education with his professional goals in banking and later as a financial advisor, further fueling his curiosity and passion for the industry.

Graduating from college during the Great Recession caused a slight detour in the timing of his plan to become a financial advisor; however, working as a claims representative with the Social Security Administration for several years proved to be very valuable as he became familiar with retirement and disability benefits, which now translates into helping guide his clients with those important decisions.

Ryne grew up in Rossville, GA, and now resides in Columbus, GA, with his wife, Laura, and their two children, Luke and Nora. His strong family values and dedication to being present for his family help him understand and empathize with the importance of family to his clients.

Ryne is an active member of the community, serving in his local church, Mid Tree Church, and has volunteered with several organizations:

• Clement Arts: Supporting adoptive and foster care families through the arts.
• Young Life: A ministry that introduces high school students to Jesus through various activities.
• United Way: A global organization that seeks to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities to advance the common good.

In his free time, Ryne enjoys reading and staying active through working out, running, and playing golf.  He is also a music enthusiast and plays the guitar.  He has trained for and completed many different races, including several marathons and ultra-marathons, as well as a half Ironman triathlon.

One of Ryne's favorite aspects of his role is building and nurturing client relationships. He is deeply committed to caring for and supporting his clients through both the joys and challenges of life.

Ryne is enthusiastic about the launch of Servant Path Wealth Partners, a venture that reflects his and Joe's shared faith. This faith guides their approach to service, how they engage with clients, and the values they uphold in their professional and personal lives.
