Your Advisory Team

Professional Background

Rod Drysdale began his career in 1990 with Citigroup, where he spent 19 years in retail financial service roles that built a broad foundation in financial planning, investment strategy, and client service. In 2009, he founded Drysdale Wealth Management to create an independent, planning-focused firm centered on long-term client relationships.

Originally serving clients in Westchester County, NY, the firm expanded organically as long-standing clients relocated but continued working with Rod. Today, he serves individuals and families nationwide while remaining intentionally small, allowing for personal attention, responsiveness, and a high level of care.

Rod maintains an office in Pleasantville, NY, and a presence near his home in Pocono Pines, PA. His approach blends high-touch service with secure, modern technology to support clear communication and keep clients’ plans current. He earned a B.A. in Finance from the University of Vermont in 1989.

Personal

Outside the office, Rod enjoys traveling with his wife, Christine, playing golf, and taking on home improvement projects. He values time with family and especially enjoys being a father to three children and a new grandfather.
