Ryan is from Glen Ellyn, IL just 25 miles due west of Chicago, and is majoring in Information Process Management and Supply Chain Management within the Kelley School of Business. Ryan is the lead teaching assistant for the “Technology in Business” course and participates in many case competitions throughout the year. Outside of Kelley, Ryan plays baritone for the Marching Hundred, Crabb Band, Big Red Basketball Band and All Campus Band.
