John
Imming
Vice President of Wealth Management
John Imming
John is no stranger to putting out fires; in fact, he worked as a trained firefighter for several years before following a different career path. During that time, he honed his skills of quick thinking and calm direction — skills he uses when working with advisors.
John brings more than a decade of financial services experience to his role with AEWM. He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance and management from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. He also has passed the Series 7, 24 and 66 securities exams and holds a life insurance license.
Never one to shy away from hard work, John is pursuing his CFP® through the University of California-Los Angeles. He and his wife, Rene, also stay busy with their three kids: Grayson, Harrison and Allison.

Ryan started with Advisors Excel in 2012 and moved to AEWM in 2016. As a member of Team Imming, Ryan loves the opportunity to work with many advisors and guide them through the daily challenges of running a business. The most rewarding part of his job is getting to know advisors on a personal level.
A graduate of Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, Ryan lives in Rossville, Kansas, with his wife, Terri (who works on the Life Team at Advisors Excel), and their two sons, Lane and Kason. Outside of work, he enjoys any outdoor activity, especially hunting.
