Ryan is the PACT Captain. He has worked in EMS in various rolls in El Paso County and Teller County for the past 13 years. I really enjoy the people in this area. I grew up in southern California where the way of life is very different from here. I enjoy the outdoors and working in the mountains. I have two beautiful children and an amazing wife. I love hanging out with them going to museums, the zoo, going to tropical places, and just playing at the park. I also have a passion for building construction.
