So You Think You’re Smart

Think Janet Yellen has an easy job? The San Francisco federal reserve has published a web game to let you see how smart you really are.  In the game your job is to keep inflation in check and unemployment low by adjusting short term interest rates.

The game can help you understand the basics of monetary policy and explore some of the correlations of our economy. It will not present you with the challenges of dealing with government shutdowns, poor tax policies, or financial meltdowns, but it will provide you some entertainment as you learn the basics.

Operations Manager

Born and raised in Maryland, I moved to South Carolina in 2023 and joined Oak Street Advisors’ Myrtle Beach office in 2024 as the firm’s Operations Manager.  I’ve worked in the financial service industry most of my career, including ten years for a large brokerage firm and the last two years as a Client Relations Specialist at a similarly sized RIA. 

I enjoy working hand-in-hand with our clients on all administrative and operational needs. Client satisfaction and planning efficiency are my top priorities — as I take pride in providing proactive service to every client household at Oak Street Advisors.
 
While not in the office, I enjoy quality time with my family, walking my rescue dog, Auggie, on the beach, cooking, and exploring South Carolina.

Fiduciary Financial Advisor

​I joined Oak Street Advisors’ Myrtle Beach office in 2021. I currently serve as a fiduciary financial advisor and associate financial planner. I hold the Series 65 and am working towards obtaining my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (TM) accreditation. 

I strive to provide clients diligent and proactive service while assisting the team with planning, investment strategies, and recommendations.
​
While not in the office, I enjoy running, golfing, fishing, going to the beach with my wife Natalie and our son Bennett, and watching my beloved Green Bay Packers play (I even own stock in the team!).

BRYAN TAYLOR, CFP®

Owner & President  | Fiduciary Financial Advisor

I graduated from Clemson University and began my financial planning career shortly after with a small advisory firm on the ground floor — learning the basics of financial and tax planning and running a financial advising business.

At the same time, I enrolled in the University of Georgia Terry College of Business’ Executive Program in Financial Planning and completed the coursework at nights and on weekends. Soon after, I completed my CFP® certification and joined the family business.

A year after I joined the firm, we opened our second location in Mt. Pleasant, SC where I reside with my family. Over the next 10+ years I cherished the opportunity to learn and grow the family business with my father. We worked hard to build the firm into what it is today — something we’re both proud to say we accomplished together.

Today, I serve in a Senior Advisor and Planner role, working together with our team on all financial plans and strategies. By collaborating we provide fiduciary financial and tax planning and asset management to our clients within a fee-only business model — which reflects our conviction of putting our clients’ interest above the next dollar.

When I’m away from the office, I enjoy playing golf, boating, pulling for the Clemson Tigers, and relaxing on the beach with my wife, Laura, and daughters Riley and Ramsey.
