"I’m proud to recommend Ryan, an exceptional leader and longtime nonprofit professional who brings tremendous experience in workshop facilitation, project and program management, advocacy, state and federal policy initiatives, and youth and community development.

I had the privilege of co-founding a national youth organization with Ryan (OYU, formerly NCYL), where I saw firsthand his dedication, passion, and commitment to creating meaningful change for young people and families. Ryan is warm, down-to-earth, and deeply invested in creating high-quality experiences, strong teams, and opportunities that help communities thrive.

He is the kind of leader who brings both strategic vision and genuine care to his work. I highly recommend Ryan to any organization seeking a thoughtful, experienced, and purpose-driven leader committed to advancing equity and expanding pathways to education, employment, and opportunity."
