Speaker profile last updated by AAE Talent Team on 03/28/2025.
Ryan's life is a testament to the power of resilience. After sleeping in homeless shelters and navigating the foster care system, he was adopted in second grade. He endured the devastating loss of his biological mother to suicide, battled addiction, and struggled with depression. Ryan faced time in jail, overcame learning disabilities, and spent two years as a drug addict, amassing $30,000 in court fines and being pulled over three times with drugs in his possession. Yet, through sheer determination, he turned his life around, transforming his struggles into a story of triumph and service.
Ryan understands the profound power of choice—the ability to go in the right or wrong direction. He believes the first step toward change always begins with making a choice.
As a 13-year military veteran, Ryan’s platoon endured harrowing experiences, including deadly vehicle explosions during his two tours in Afghanistan, with 23 out of 32 soldiers injured and one killed in action. Despite the trauma, PTSD, and struggles, Ryan emerged stronger, channeling his experiences into becoming a celebrated musician and sought-after speaker.
Ryan is dedicated to creating leaders who build winning, safe environments in work, school, and life. He returned to school and graduated with degrees in Psychology and Family Science to better understand and help people. Through powerful keynotes, transformative courses, and award-winning music, he empowers others to overcome challenges, build self-belief, foster kindness, and develop resilience.
Having crushed his hand in a work injury in the mining industry and been pinned in a semi-accident years later, Ryan knows what it means to rise from rock bottom. He understands the importance of safety in the workplace and the power of building others up. It’s all about the comeback—facing giants head-on and fighting for a victorious personal and professional life.
