Ryan moved from Colorado to join Desert’s End in 2011. He now serves as a deacon and helps lead the Missions Support small group, where he’s passionate about encouraging and uplifting those serving around the world.
He’s married to Abra, and together they have four amazing kids: Emma, Rosalee, Annabelle, and Asher. Ryan is also a serious coffee enthusiast—he even runs his own small-batch roastery out of his home—and he’s been making Sunday morning coffee at Desert’s End great for years.
