Ryan and his wife Nicole grew up in the midwest (Ohio/Michigan areas), and shortly after marrying, moved to Montana to serve one year terms in Americorps (VISTA program). After serving, they decided to move to Portland, and have been in the St. Johns area for the past 15 years, where they’ve raised their 3 children Lucian, Miriam, and Charlotte. Ryan works for a ceiling tile company named Ceilume, and Nicole is an independent graphic designer. Both love the St. Johns/ Linton area, and plan on making their “forever home” on Springville Hill.
