Ryan was passionate for the outdoors. He started Cub scouts at Grace Lutheran Church and was currently working towards his Eagle Scout with Troop 570 in Kirkland, Washington. He loved fishing and hunting with his dad and hiking, biking and snowboarding with his Mom. Ryan caught his first steelhead at age 5 and took his first deer at age 12. Turkeys were his passion and nemesis as he loved chasing them. He took his biggest gobbler in 2012. He loved wakeboarding at Dworshak reservoir and riding his motorcycle all over the mountains of Northern Idaho. He loved snowboarding at Stevens pass but missed this year due to the lack of snow.
