Ryan met his wife Ely in her native country of El Salvador while hitchhiking through Latin America, and they hope to start their family soon through adoption. Ryan earned his M.Div. from Westminster Seminary California, where he now works on staff. When he doesn’t have his nose in a book, he enjoys climbing mountains to get his head in the clouds. He and Ely worship at North Park Presbyterian Church (PCA) in San Diego, where Ryan is a pastoral intern.
