Ryan is a Churchville- Chili graduate where he played lacrosse and hockey for 4 years, while serving as a captain in both sports for 2 years. After graduating, he continued his lacrosse career, where he played for four years at Le Moyne College. During his time as a player at Le Moyne, he helped them to winning the 2016 Division II National Championship; this marked the first ever undefeated National Champion in Division II (20-0).

Ryan credits a lot of his success to his early lacrosse days when working on individual skills training with Grant Catalino in smaller warehouse spaces, making him one of the first Harvest players/trainees. He looks forward to using his experiences as a leader, as well as playing for one of the top programs in the sport to help shape these young men into becoming the best student-athletes on and off the field!
