Experience

As an accounting professional by trade, I understand the tall task that is often associated with maintaining one’s health and wellness while pursuing a traditional career path. I too struggled with this at the beginning of my career, so trust me when I say you are not alone in this fight. Once I saw how the other areas of my life were positively impacted by the discipline and habits created to enhance my health and wellness, I was determined to never go back.

I am incredibly data driven due to my accounting and finance background, and am infatuated with the idea of utilizing tools like the Apple watch and Whoop to learn a tremendous amount about the body. This translates into optimized recovery, and will ultimately maximize the performance of one’s current training regime.

Education

Ryan received his bachelor’s degree in finance through the University of San Diego. He also has earned certifications from the National Council on Strength and Fitness (NCSF) as a certified personal trainer and sports nutrition specialist.
