Christina Norwood

I’ve worked in the financial services industry for 17 years.

Born and raised in Maryland, I moved to South Carolina and joined Oak Street Advisors’ Myrtle Beach office in January 2024 as the firm’s Operations Manager. I have spent most of my career in the financial services industry, including experience with a large brokerage firm and a boutique financial planning and wealth management firm.

I enjoy working closely with our clients and helping manage their administrative and operational needs. Client satisfaction and planning efficiency are top priorities for me, and I take pride in providing thoughtful, proactive service to every client household at Oak Street Advisors.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, walking my rescue dog on the beach, cooking, and exploring all that South Carolina has to offer.

I enjoy working hand-in-hand with our clients on all administrative and operational needs. Client satisfaction and planning efficiency are my top priorities, and 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.

Ryan Cooper

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 toward obtaining my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification.

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 commitment to putting our clients’ interests 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.
