Ryan was born and raised in San Francisco, California where he graduated from St. Ignatius College Prep in 2009. He completed his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego in 2013 and continues to identify with the San Diego vibe. He entered the Jesuits West Province after graduation, and when he’s not too busy studying to become a physician at Loyola Chicago Stritch School of Medicine or talking about fixing bones and helping people move, he enjoys training as a CrossFit Athlete, playing football, and figuring out if he's allowed to wear shorts rather than pants at the next event.
