About Ryan
Biography
I grew up primarily in Michigan and also Gilbert, Arizona. I have lived in several other states, including Nebraska, Utah and Nevada. I also spent 2 years living in Brazil and am still relatively proficient in Portuguese.
Prior to law school, I received an English Degree at Brigham Young University. While at BYU, I spent several summers working as a Counselor for a youth program, which I enjoyed immensely. I graduated from Creighton Law school in 2009 and currently am practicing in the areas of Bankruptcy and Family Law. After, finishing law school, I decided to make my home back here in Arizona.
Outside of practicing law I enjoy a myriad of other pursuits including theater, basketball, racquetball, writing, and dancing.
