Ryan was born in Provo, UT and raised in Spring City, UT. His joy for the Spanish language began to grow while living in Argentina. Ryan ventured to China to teach English as a second language at Xiangfan University. He then moved to Hawaii to finish his undergrad at BYU-Hawaii. While there, he worked as a Spanish tour guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center where he welcomed many visitors to the center and taught them about the cultures. Ryan has also spent time in Tonga teaching English as a second language.
His love for Wasatch Academy and its community started when he was an assistant dorm parent in Sage and while tutoring Wasatch students in their Spanish classes. Upon leaving Wasatch he gained further teaching experience as an instructor for the Utah Army National Guard where he taught the Basic Leadership Course. Ryan is excited for his new role as a Spanish instructor here at Wasatch. He has a passion for the Spanish language and enjoys helping students gain that same passion.
Outside of teaching, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and kids. He also enjoys exercising, learning new languages, and being outdoors.
