Ryan’s enthusiasm for learning is surpassed only by his passion about preaching. “I want to proclaim God’s Word in the power of His Spirit in a way that is applicable to people’s needs”, Ryan said. "The words written by the apostle Paul to Timothy, 'Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and careful instruction' – these words were burned into my soul when I accepted God’s call on my life to preach the Gospel. I am thankful God has given me great zeal for communicating His timeless truth. To this calling I have committed my life. I pray that I will always be found faithful."

He is married to Emily. They have three daughters, Liliann, Elianna, and Annabella.
