Prior to his Ataxia diagnosis, Ryan was a hardcore Enduro bike racer.  He was also a pretty bad-ass lawyer -as noted this 2007 Las Vegas Review Journal article.

FARA, Burrows Hill Foundation and Catrike combined efforts thru the Ataxia Athlete Initiative for Ryan’s new Atomic Orange 559.

He and his wife now call Ashland Oregon home, give him a wave when you see him out on the road!
