Bryan Cunningham is a financial advisor that brings with him over 29 years of experience. He received his Communications degree from California State University of Northridge. He has also attained his CHFC – Chartered Financial Consultant Designation, in 2025. Bryan uses his innate abilities to help show clients how to generate more retirement income without spending additional income to do so. Bryan takes pride in what he does and treats his clients like they are family.
Bryan’s passion for helping people has stemmed from watching his grandmother receiving unsuitable financial advice and losing half of her retirement. He decided that financial services would allow him to make sure the clients he takes care of will never experience the pain that he witnessed his grandmother going through.
Bryan is a loving husband of over 28 years to his wife Ellen. They have two children, Taryn and Colin. In his spare time, Bryan is the chairperson for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, in Santa Clarita.
Bryan is a coach by nature and is the former regional commissioner for AYSO Region 1441 in Castaic, where he coached, refereed, and helped run the soccer program. He is passionate about the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Covered Branches: Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Ventura, Oxnard, Port Hueneme

I’ve always been curious about how things work. That curiosity has taken me through careers in financial services, education, and health care, and ultimately led me to where I am today as a financial advisor. I enjoy helping people make sense of their financial lives and working toward the goals that matter most to them.
Outside of work, I’m probably tinkering with some new technology, tweaking my home theater, experimenting with a recipe, watching a great movie (that’s right... AMC A-Lister), or planning my next trip. I enjoy learning, solving problems, and occasionally obsessing over the little details.
More than anything, I enjoy getting to know people. I believe the best financial relationships start with understanding who you are, what matters to you, and where you want to be.
Covered Branches: Santa Clarita, Reseda, CSUN, Burbank - Empire, Burbank - Hollywood Way, Universal.
