Meet Ryan:
Ryan was born and raised in Central Florida, and has a strong commitment to the community that supported him since childhood. He attended Seminole County Public Schools, where his mother, Rebecca, is a 32 year veteran teacher. Beginning with English Estates Elementary, located in the heart of District 30, Ryan learned firsthand the impact that great public schools and dedicated teachers can have on our children. After graduating from Lake Mary High School, Ryan attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he met his college sweetheart and future wife, Allie. After receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in History, Ryan began his legal studies at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. After law school and during the peak of the economic recession, Ryan decided to come back home to Central Florida and open his own law practice. Although many of his friends and neighbors were experiencing financial crises and the venture was risky, the community that had supported him in childhood once again offered him encouragement and assistance. Years later, through this support and hard work, Ryan’s practice is now thriving, but more importantly, he has had the opportunity to help countless clients navigate difficult times in their lives. Through his law practice and his involvement in the community, Ryan continues to interact with Central Floridians who are trying their hardest, but are still having trouble getting ahead. These experiences have deepened Ryan’s belief that if we can strengthen our middle class, our whole state will prosper. Further, Ryan’s lifelong enjoyment of the outdoors, especially time on our area’s lakes, rivers, and streams have impacted his views on development. Ryan understands that needed economic progress in District 30 often means development, however, he feels this development must be thoughtful and should not create negative environmental impacts in our community. Ryan is energized to serve District 30 and represent the concerns and views that local citizens have for this community. Ryan and Allie reside in Winter Park. |
