Having the opportunity to help people, in any capacity, has always been important to Ryan. He has always believed that the true strength of character comes from lifting others.

After graduating in 2008, Ryan spent nearly five years as a U.S. Marine, which included two tours of duty in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province serving with HMH-363 as well as numerous training exercises throughout the United States. His experience working as an Avionics Technician and non-commissioned officer helped to mold Ryan as a leader, mentor and a technical professional in his early twenties, serving dutifully until his honorable discharge in February 2013.
