When Ryan worked for FedEx and Enterprise, he specialized in creating dynamic systems and protocols that, along with his leadership skills, propelled large teams towards success. But Ryan was always driven to build something of his own, and with his experience in operations management, coaching, and recruitment he put those skills to the test with Good Life Juice, the first cold pressed juice company on Vancouver Island – and grew it to the point where he could comfortably step back and let others manage the business.

His well-rounded knowledge of the intricacies of entrepreneurship and a passion to help others makes Ryan an invaluable Breakthrough Academy business coach. Plus, his role enables him to get to know BTA members and their businesses on a personal level, ensuring they don’t learn every lesson the hard way – as he did.

During his off hours, Ryan loves travelling and staying close to home in equal measures. When he’s not getting lost in a Central American jungle or climbing through a box canyon in Arizona, he enjoys exploring the wilderness near his home base of Nanaimo, B.C., drinking coffee, and playing board games.
