He helped them achieve the highest fraternity GPA on campus for the 2012-2013 academic year and instituted a program to develop students into professionals.

Ryan, a property manager at Kiemle & Hagood Co. in Spokane, earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from EWU in 2007. As an undergraduate, he held many leadership roles on campus, including SigEp chapter president during his senior year. After graduating, Ryan worked as a regional director and director of expansion for SigEp at the headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. He currently serves as an alumni board president for the Washington Gamma chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon at EWU.

His commitment to EWU student success earned Ryan the 2014 Alumni Award for Greek Values and Service. Fraternity brothers who nominated him for the award recognized his ability to advise EWU students with a sense of humor, consistency, firmness, compassion, and willingness to make a difference.

Ryan is instrumental in creating leaders by hosting monthly workshops and an annual event aimed at the fraternity’s mission of “building balanced leaders for the world’s communities.” While living up to SigEp’s cardinal principles of virtue, diligence and brotherly love, Ryan has worked to help instill them in the hearts and minds of the next generation.
