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.

Reliable and knowledgeable.
Ryan came highly recommended by another lawyer who wasn't able to handle my case due to my financial situation. You know that saying, "You get what you pay for,"?
