His Story: Ryan served for over 20-years as both an enlisted Soldier & NCO and later as an Officer. His Army journey started as a fire support specialist (13F) and as an officer served first as a Field Artillery, then as a Multi-functional Logistician (90A) and later as a Simulation Officer (57A). During his Army journey, he spent time at the 10th Mountain Division, 1st Infantry Division, 1st Armored Division, the National Training Center, Cadet Command, and a few other places doing a lot of different and awesome things. He deployed to Iraq x 3 and the Former Yugoslavia. His main reason for serving for two decades plus was the horrible events of September 11th, 2001. Since transitioning from the military, Ryan has become an entrepreneur with a digital marketing company (www.pando.media), multiple e-commerce sites to include Mountain Up Cap Company (www.mountainupcaps.com) and Teddy Bear Roast (www.teddybearroast.com), and he even sells life and health insurance.
