Ryan Elenbaas
CEO & Wealth Advisor
My interest in the financial industry began at a young age. In fact, I purchased my first share of stock at the age of 16! I started a career in real estate in 1996 while still attending college. Over the course of four years, I gained invaluable experience in real estate, the investment business, and the general business industry. In 2000, my partners and I founded Vision Financial Group. I’m proud to say Vision Financial Group has grown to be one of the most influential advising firms in our community.
My team and I have followed Dave Ramsey’s principles for years and believe strongly in the value of eliminating debt, investing wisely, and being a good steward of what God provides. We love people, our jobs and the investment business. We've built a great team that shares these same values and we are excited to walk alongside you as you pursue financial peace.
Your Support Team
You will be supported by dedicated members of our team committed to upholding the highest quality service. Our focused team approach ensures that experienced professionals will be available to guide and support you throughout your financial journey.

Who is Dave Ramsey?
Dave Ramsey is a well-known personal finance professional and the founder of Ramsey Solutions. He has been providing financial guidance since 1992, helping people manage their money, get out of debt, and build wealth. The Dave Ramsey SmartVestor program is a part of his broader approach to financial education to take control of your money! Dave Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps will show you how to save for emergencies, pay off all your debt for good, and build wealth. It’s not a fairy tale.
Why Use a SmartVestor Pro?
The SmartVestor program offers a directory of investment professionals in your area who are handpicked by Dave Ramsey’s team. These investment professionals agree with the principles of getting out of debt, saving, and investing for the long term. The goal is to connect you with financial advisors who will help you make informed decisions about your investments and financial planning.

SmartVestor Pros have the “heart of a coach”.
The core idea for a Smartvestor Pro is about embodying certain values and behaviors that are beneficial in guiding and supporting others. Whether in the realm of sports, professional development, or personal growth, embodying the "heart of a coach" fosters positive relationships, facilitates learning, and contributes to the success and well-being of those being coached.
Advisory Alpha permits non-clients to provide endorsements of Advisory Alpha and/or its supervised persons, in this case, Ryan Elenbaas. An endorsement is a statement by any non-client (the“Endorser”) that indicates approval, support, or a recommendation of Advisory Alpha or its supervised persons or describes that person’s experience with Advisory Alpha or its supervised persons. Endorsements represent that individual’s experience and do not, necessarily, represent the experience of other third-parties who work with Advisory Alpha or Ryan Elenbaas.
Ramsey Solutions is not affiliated with any SmartVestor Pros and neither Ramsey Solutions nor any of its representatives are authorized to provide investment advice on behalf of a SmartVestor Pro or to act for or bind a SmartVestor Pro. Each SmartVestor Pro has entered into an agreement with Ramsey Solutions under which the Pro pays Ramsey Solutions a combination of fees. The fees paid by the Pros to Ramsey Solutions are paid irrespective of whether you become a client of a Pro and are not passed along to you. However, the presence of these arrangements may affect a SmartVestor Pro’s willingness to negotiate below their standard investment advisory fees, and therefore may affect the overall fees paid by clients introduced by Ramsey Solutions through the SmartVestor program. Please ask your SmartVestor Pro for more information about their fees.
Neither Ramsey Solutions nor its affiliates are engaged in providing investment advice. Ramsey Solutions does not receive, control, access, or monitor client funds, accounts, or portfolios. Ramsey Solutions does not warrant any services of any SmartVestor Pro and makes no claim or promise of any result or success of retaining a SmartVestor Pro. Your use of the SmartVestor program, including the decision to retain the services of any SmartVestor Pro, is at your sole discretion and risk. Any services rendered by SmartVestor Pros you contact engage with are solely that of the SmartVestor Pro.
