Background
Ryan received his B.A. in English literature and his M.A. in English composition from San Francisco State University. He earned his teaching credential from Touro University and taught high school English language arts for 13 years in West Contra Costa Unified and Acalanes High School districts. While it was a pleasure and privilege to guide young readers and writers through their study of communication inside of the classroom and it was a struggle to leave that honor, Ryan is happy to now educate and guide athletes here at Cal Berkeley, helping them to balance their athletic endeavors with the pursuit of their academic studies.
