Ryan serves as Student Ministry Director at Portico Church, where his passion is helping students know Jesus and discover that the Bible is one unified story centered on Him. He finds great joy in walking alongside students and leaders as they come to know Christ and make their faith their own.

Ryan is pursuing a Bachelor of Divinity at Grimké Seminary and holds undergraduate studies in Christian Leadership and Business Management from Liberty University. He is also a graduate of Portico’s Pastor, Planter, Elder cohort, part of his preparation for pastoral ministry.

Before transitioning to vocational ministry, Ryan spent over a decade as an intelligence analyst, including service in the United States Marine Corps, where he developed his commitment to excellence and passion for leadership development.

When not at church, Ryan enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, grilling, camping, and being outdoors at the lake or beach with Elizabeth (his bride) and their five daughters.
