Before Real Estate, Ryan was in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, never once stepping foot on a ship. After the military Ryan worked at a school while attending college. This is where Ryan made the #1 best decision of his life, meeting and marrying his wife Dulcy (who was a teacher, not a student). Ryan received a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Biology but he and his wife quickly decided they wanted to open a full scale coffee shop (best decision #4) in a college town and run open mic nights galore. After a few years of pulling espresso shots and two kids later (best decision #2), Ryan and his family moved to Honolulu Hawaii to work with a missions organization. Ryan and Dulcy then helped to open two more coffee shops in rural China. Fast forward to settling down in Michigan to raise 2 fabulous kids, some chickens and a wiener dog named Thor.

For Ryan, the best part about being a Realtor is that he gets to interact with different people from many different areas. Ryan loves working with people and finds it interesting how unpredictable and unique people can be. As a military veteran, nothing makes Ryan happier than being able to help a fellow Veteran realize their dreams of homeownership. Whether he’s helping a close friend or a new connection, Ryan always makes it his goal to understand what it is they really want and need.

Serving others is Ryan’s passion, but his family is his pride and joy.  Ryan and Dulcy are new to this empty nest thing and can now be found spending a lot of time solving world problems while sipping coffee and talking to their dog Thor.
