Daniel M. Ruske

Hello, I’m Daniel, and I’ve had the pleasure of serving with Peterson Wealth Advisors for nearly seven years. I’ve been hooked on personal finance since high school, when I took a finance course that taught me about compound interest. From there, I was in love! And I’ve always been the type of person who enjoys knowing all the “rules” and making the most of them, so financial planning was a natural fit.

But what really gave me the confidence I needed to pursue a career as a financial planner was my LDS mission to Ghana. The communication skills and comfort with people I developed over this experience have served me well. Now, more than anything, I enjoy helping clients feel comfortable with their finances and giving them the relief and certainty they need when they’re worried. Telling clients, “YES,‌ you have enough saved to last your whole retirement…and here’s how we’ll make it work,” is one of my favorite experiences.

My favorite client story

We’ve helped so many clients navigate the worries of retirement, it’s hard to pick just one. They come to us not knowing what to do about Social Security, Medicare, pensions, investments, everything. We take all these questions and worries and make an easy-to-follow plan that provides them income for the rest of their lives. We also helped dozens of seniors embark on missions that changed their lives and the lives of countless others.

I live in Vineyard with my wife, Briana, and our three children, Levi, Evelyn, and Tate. Briana and I enjoy evening walks after the kids are asleep, watching movies, going out to eat, and singing in the ward choir. We also have season tickets to the Ruth and BYU Football. Our kids love all things Disney and swimming in our in-laws’ pool.
