Ryan Panton

Ryan Panton ’97 (Lake’s) brings his youthful enthusiasm and passion for "all things Shawnigan" to the Advancement Office in his role as Director of the Annual Fund. After completing his studies at Shawnigan, Ryan continued his education at UBC and BCIT. He then began a postion in sales at Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, the world’s largest seller of new and used industrial equipment.

While the unique nature of the auction business made for never a dull moment, when the opportunity to return to Shawnigan came calling, Ryan was quickly convinced to pack up his belongings and make the trek back to Vancouver Island with his wife, Marita. He is also an active distance runner who helps out in coaching Fitness and Cross Country whenever his schedule allows.
