Mark Taylan
Founder and Managing Director at Advisors360 LLC

I have a 22+ year track record of navigating clients through some of the most challenging financial markets. My experience with the traditional Wall Street Firms, Big Banks, and Independent brokerage firms have been integral in determining the best solutions for my clients. What my experience has taught me is that no one investment firm or strategy is consistently better than the other. In my many years of advising clients I have been put to the test with real life challenges, transitioning clients to different phases of their lives, tragedies, and successes. It has been my pleasure to walk with many of my clients to the end of their lives and continue their legacies with their loved ones.

Ryan Taylan
Client Associate

As a prior Navy Veteran, I proudly served our country for 7 years on active duty, which is one of the greatest experiences of my life that I am forever grateful for. While in the service I polished my skills as a leader, grew my dedication for knowledge, and built my reputation as a consistent professional. Following my time in the military, I went on to complete my undergraduate degree at Santa Clara University, and currently I am working towards completing my MBA degree at SCU as well. Prior to my service I dedicated several years of life working for Bank of America, where I built my foundational knowledge in finance, and found my calling for financial planning. What makes advisory special to me, is the ability to play a role in helping people reach their financial and life goals. As a father, sailor, and student, I understand the importance of maintaining a work life balance, and I aim to bring value and clarity to my clients.
