Skinner’s Debut Book Blends Relatable Personal and Professional Anecdotes With No-Nonsense Strategies to Help Retirees Attain Financial Security

Woburn, MA – June 4, 2018 –  A trailblazer in the field of asset preservation and distribution with an empowering story of personal redemption, retirement specialist Ryan Skinner—co-owner of the Woburn, MA based firm Summit Financial Partners — recently signed a publishing deal to pen his forthcoming book, Taking Stock, published by CelebrityPress®LLC.

Taking an innovative approach that transcends the typical financial guidebook written by his peers, Ryan’s compelling narrative weaves together two distinct elements: a fascinating account of his personal redemption story (and how it has inspired the deeply personal, spiritual approach he takes in his work with clients) and detailed expert advice on the many aspects of planning the perfect, individualized strategy drawn from his years of helping people achieve a successful, sustainable retirement.

As he documents in the book, Ryan’s harrowing journey into and slow burn out of a hell of multiple addictions is living proof that with deep faith, the encouragement of loving friends, sponsors, mentors and family, and an effective 12-step program, anything is possible. Taking full advantage of his second chance at life, he continues to build a successful business with hundreds of loyal clients while paying his reversal of fortune forward in many inspiring ways – including counseling those enrolled in a drug program at the Middlesex House of Corrections in Billerica and helping young students at his high school alma mater and other schools throughout his home region.

“I like to say I had to fall to gain it all,” he says. “I grew up with a father and grandfather who taught me the value of integrity and I had to lose everything to gain that sort of integrity and live my life according to what I learned so many years ago. If I’m only remembered for the amount of money I have made, I will consider my life a failure. Making a difference in people’s lives is what drives me every day. It’s like a ripple effect. If you do the right thing, you can’t help but make someone else’s life better. What was once the curse is now my blessing.”

Eager to share his personable m.o. with clients with his readers, Ryan begins each chapter with an intimate, highly relatable personal story of a single meeting and conversation that introduces the topic of that section of the book. His chapter titles include Money Is Not Enough, The Two ROIs (Return on Investment, Reliability of Income), How Much Do I Need and For How Long?, Maximizing What You Already Have, Life Insurance IS Part of a Retirement Plan, Estate Planning and Asset Distribution and A Message of Hope.

The book will be released under the CelebrityPress^® LLC imprint, a leading business book publisher that publishes books from ThoughtLeaders^® around the world.  

CelebrityPress^® describes the book as an enjoyable and informative read to learn more about retirement planning. Ryan Skinner has taken a different approach in Taking Stock. Instead of using complex financial jargon that makes your head spin as you attempt to understand the requirements of a secure retirement, he instead uses important concepts paired with stories from real people to help explain the ins and outs of retirement planning in a more entertaining way.

If you’re uncertain about retirement, Taking Stock is here for you. Skinner explains how to analyze future financial needs, secure definite sources of income (annuities and maximizing social security and pensions), prepare for worst-case scenarios with disability and long-term care insurance, guarantee your legacy with estate planning and asset distribution, and so much more. Remember, hope is not a plan. The best way to acquire worry free financial independence is taking action and opening the pages of Taking Stock should be your first step!

“Once you finish the book,” Ryan says, “I hope that you will understand what drives me and enables me to be at a level that most advisors and retirement specialists can only fathom. I want you to know why it seems like I really care about you on a level far deeper than dollars and cents. Because I truly do.” –

Taking Stock is tentatively scheduled for release in Summer 2018.
