Ryan H

Series 66, Series 63, Series 7

Layton, UT

Kimberlite Financial Services Limited Liability Co.

I'm Ryan Hammett, founder of Kimberlite Financial Services, an independent, fee-based registered investment adviser in Layton, Utah, serving families across the Wasatch Front and Park City. Before founding Kimberlite, I partnered in a day trading practice — where I learned firsthand what it actually takes to make money in markets — then spent years inside the big houses at Fidelity Brokerage Services and E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley. That inside view showed me both how the industry works and where it falls short: clients are often shown only the in-house options, not every available avenue. Along the way I passed the FINRA Series 3, 7, 9, 10, 63, and 66 exams — covering commodities and futures, general securities, securities sales supervision, and state law for both securities agents and investment adviser representatives. I also hold Utah insurance licenses in life, health, and property & casualty. At Kimberlite, I bring traditional planning and digital assets under one roof. My view on crypto is measured: Bitcoin won't replace the dollar, and it isn't a scam — the right amount in the right portfolio, held with patience, can be a meaningful piece of a long-term plan. Every account is non-discretionary, which means you approve every trade. No surprises. I might be a fit if you want a real plan instead of a default one — whether that's crypto alongside a 401(k) or tax-efficient retirement withdrawals. I'm probably not, if you're looking for hot tips or someone to trade your account without you. Off the desk: married almost fifteen years, one thirteen-year-old daughter who is my whole world, and a garage full of boards — skate, snow, and wake, in season order.
