Ryan Sullivan is a Bozeman, MT fee-only financial planner and investment manager. Off the Beaten Path Financial provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management services to help clients achieve financial freedom. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Ryan Sullivan is never paid a commission of any kind, and works only for the client - not a broker, insurance company, or bank.

Ryan Sullivan, PE started his career as a Mechanical Engineer designing mechanical and plumbing systems for buildings across the country. At age 26 he launched an Engineering Department at a family owned plumbing contractor with the vision of simplifying and streamlining the construction industry. 

Within 5 years he grew the department to over $1 million in annual revenue, and along the way realized his true passion for personal finance and investing. Frustrated by consistently hearing the same boilerplate recommendations and lack of specific, detailed advice, Ryan started on his own financial research journey. Fueled by a passion for the markets, and dissatisfied by the idea of simply riding out market downturns, Ryan spent years studying professional investors and traders to understand what makes them consistently successful year after year.

Over time he came to realize that other professionals in the building industry have similar questions and frustrations, but don’t have the time, energy, or enthusiasm to do the research themselves. Now his goal is to make his strategies available to others that would rather live their life than analyze the markets.

By focusing his engineering mentality and logical systematic approach to personal finance and investing, he is on a journey to help 100 families achieve financial freedom.

In his free time, you can find him and his adventurous wife exploring the great outdoors and pushing their limits. Whether it's skiing down a tight couloir, scaling a towering rock face, or shredding through a challenging mountain bike trail, Ryan is always up for a new challenge.
