Get to know Bryan
Bryan Dern is an Investment Advisor Representative at Mana Financial Group, where he serves as a key member of the family business founded by his father, Tim Dern. As Tim's oldest child, Bryan brings a lifelong passion for family and for helping people to everything he does — values that shape the way he works with clients every day.
With 20 years of professional experience, Bryan built a successful sales career in the plastics industry before joining Mana Financial Group, earning lasting customer loyalty through attentive service and meticulous attention to detail. That same relationship-driven approach carries directly into his work today, where he's known as Tim's right-hand man — someone clients trust to listen closely and follow through.
Bryan believes that helping families plan for their financial future starts with genuine care and personal attention. Whether he's working alongside family or guiding a client through their options, his goal is the same: build relationships rooted in trust, service, and consistency.
"Working alongside family while helping other families build their future — that's what this business is all about."
