Ryan and his wife, Jessica, are avid hikers who love spending time outdoors, especially with their young sons, David and Adam. When they’re at home, they enjoy exploring Missouri trails and rivers, and vacations nearly always involve outdoor activities. The couple have a goal of visiting every national park, with a recent vacation including all eight of the national parks in Arizona and Utah—with many trails in each.
Ryan and Jess have hiked in more exotic locales as well: they’ve previously spent a night in the Amazon rainforest, and their honeymoon included a four-day hike on the ancient Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu.
Ryan’s also a huge Missouri sports fan who loves to cheer on the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
