Ryan was born in Olympia, Washington, and raised in Walla Walla before moving to Newberg, Oregon in 2019 to attend George Fox University. He graduated in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Spanish while competing as a member of the university’s baseball program. During his undergraduate years, Ryan was actively involved in campus leadership groups and ministry opportunities while serving as a teaching assistant within the Kinesiology department and working with the university’s Sports Medicine department.

Ryan earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from George Fox University in 2026, where he developed a passion for helping patients move confidently and return to the activities they love. He enjoys combining meaningful patient relationships with his fascination for the neuromusculoskeletal system to provide individualized, evidence-based care.

While in graduate school, Ryan served as the Director of Strength and Conditioning for the George Fox baseball program from 2023–2025. During that time, he earned his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification, further strengthening his background in performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.

Outside the clinic, Ryan enjoys fly fishing, golf, pickleball, playing the guitar, cheering on the Seattle Mariners (Go M’s!!), and spending time with his wife, Emma.
