Ryan explores how people endure, create, and make meaning from the mess. After years helping others tell their stories through performance, he now focuses on the ones that matter most to him—the ones that interrogate myth, legacy, and the power of persistence.

Ryan lives and writes in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He’s available to travel for speaking engagements throughout the United States and abroad. He is represented by Giles Anderson of The Anderson Literary Agency.
