Born and raised in New Orleans, LA, Ryan moved to New Hampshire in 2011 to attend Southern New Hampshire University’s College Unbound experiential-learning program. Ryan immersed himself in Greater Manchester by interning at small businesses, non-profit fundraising, and organizing community events. After graduating with an Integrated Studies BA in 2014, he began building up his private sector from his first role in entry-level sales to his current role as Director of SOLVE Beauty Brands — a New Hampshire-based professional beauty products distribution and manufacturing company. 

Ryan enjoys lifelong learning, hiking, and staying active with his girlfriend Breanna and their dog Teddy. His favorite book is The Giver, and he wants all things sci-fi. He is proud to be a Granite Stater — jokingly describing himself as “Louisiana hardware with New Hampshire software made in the USA.”

Ryan serves on the New Hampshire State Board representing District and Daniel Webster Council Executive Board. He is also a proud member of Leadership Greater Manchester’s c/o 2020 and Leadership New Hampshire’s c/o 2023.
