Hi, we’re Focused Mission Financial.
We believe Wealth Management isn’t just about numbers - it’s about people, purpose, and peace of mind.
The clients we have the honor of serving want a partner to help ensure that their money is working just as hard as they are. That’s where we come in.
At FMF, strategy is only the beginning. We strive to bring clarity and organization to complex financial lives, develop a game plan that aligns with our clients’ priorities, and then help implement it so that nothing falls through the cracks. It’s simple, we are FOCUSED on your goals and on a MISSION to see them reached.
Meet Matt Ryan, CFA, CFP®
Founder & Wealth Manager
When Matt was seven years old, he walked into the bank with his birthday cash and learned that he could earn interest by putting his money in a certificate of deposit.
Matt has spent over 1,000 hours studying (yes, he tracked it in excel) to obtain both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designations. He is committed to being a lifelong learner and is always looking for ways to level up his knowledge and understanding of the complex financial world we live in.
After years of working in the industry, Matt launched FMF in 2022 to service clients differently: with proactive planning, attention to detail, and a focus on helping clients achieve their goals.
For Matt, the best part of his work isn’t the numbers, it’s watching his client’s goals come to fruition. This is what gets him up ever day and keeps him motivated to continue learning and growing himself.
When he’s not working with clients, Matt’s spending time with his wife, Jess, his son Reid (5) and his daughter Macie (2). He is also active in the San Diego Rotary, is a Financial Wellness Expert for Grokker, and involved in his local church.

Meet Philly Pridgen, FPQP®
Operations Specialist
Every great firm has someone behind the scenes who makes sure everything runs smoothly. At FMF, that’s Philly.
She went on to earn her degree in finance, and since 2020 has worked in financial planning. She brings her technical expertise and natural empathy for clients’ needs to work with her every day.
Philly oversees operations at FMF, ensuring that clients receive the seamless, attentive experience they deserve.
Outside of FMF, Philly lives in Rocklin, CA, with her husband (an Air Force pilot) and their two teenagers, who keep her busy with dance and baseball. When she’s not playing taxi driver for the kids, you can find her indulging in her hobbies of crafting, baking, or getting lost in a good book.
