Ryan Parson

Ryan Parson is President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunlight Peaks Financial Partners, LLC, and founder of Quo Vadis Retreats, LLC. Ryan, a renowned nationwide speaker and wealth strategist on alternative investing and private portfolio management, has over 30 years of experience in the financial services, insurance, and real estate industries. His unique expertise comes from an in-depth knowledge of the traditional financial services market and alternative investments, and his rich history of activity in real estate and serving high-net-worth families.

Frustrated with traditional investments and realizing that investors had few options for private alternative deal flow or opportunities to diversify into other sectors, Ryan began assembling his private offerings. To share his offering with other like-minded, high-net-worth investors, Ryan combined his experience as a teacher, speaker, and financial leader to create Sunlight Peaks. Sunlight provides successful high-net-worth families and ‘do-it-yourself’ investors with the tools to organize their wealth, wealth planning services, access to desirable, off-market deals not available to the public, as well as exposure to industry experts well-versed in the alternative investment space and advanced financial planning areas including income and estate tax, charitable giving, asset protection, business succession, and legacy planning.

Ryan speaks nationally about private and institutional capital deployment techniques, investment analysis, portfolio management, living a life of significance, and advanced financial planning strategies. In 2019, Ryan topped Amazon’s best-seller list authoring "Your Money CEO: Finding Financial Confidence in Today’s Chaos."

Ryan holds undergraduate degrees in finance and insurance, as well as an MBA from Drake University.
