Colby Ripsam
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, Certified Investment Management Analyst®

Growing up around family businesses in steel fabrication, animal health, and wealth management, Colby learned from an early age that hard work and a positive vision are two important attributes in both business and life. He believes these qualities help build meaningful relationships, create lasting impact, and ultimately make a difference in the lives of others.

Colby was born and raised in Northern Colorado. He attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins and graduated with distinction from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he concentrated in Finance and Financial Planning. He has also completed Executive Education in Portfolio Management at the Yale School of Management. Colby began his career serving high-net-worth individuals on multiple advisory teams at two of Colorado’s largest independent wealth management firms.

In 2021, Colby returned home to partner with his father, Tony, and join Peakview Wealth Management as a Financial Advisor. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and a Certified Investment Management Analyst® professional. These highly recognized industry designations reflect advanced education and expertise in financial planning and portfolio management. With over eight years of industry experience, Colby serves a diverse group of clients, including early- to mid-career professionals, pre-retirees, retirees, and multiple generations of families. He takes a comprehensive approach to wealth management, helping clients coordinate financial planning, portfolio management, tax planning, insurance, estate planning, and small business succession planning. His goal is to help clients see how each piece of their financial life fits together and make thoughtful decisions with confidence.

Colby also serves on the NoCo Foundation’s Finance Committee. He has been married to his wife, Danielle, for over six years, and she works as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Greeley. Together, they enjoy spending time with family, serving together at their church, and staying active in the outdoors.
