SUMMARY

Ryan is a product of the Kokomo youth bowling program from 1988-1996 and won the 1996 KBA Scholarship.  He is great person and a fine left-handed bowler who has stroked his way to many bowling achievements.

Ryan has also given back much to the sport locally.  He has coached both youth bowling and High School bowling for 11 years.  He is very positive and well liked.  Youth bowlers are drawn to his personality and swarm to him even when he is not coaching.  Adult bowlers respect him and seek personal advice from him due to his stellar character.

Ryan is a youth minister and has conducted several funeral ceremonies for bowlers following their passing.  His father Charlie would certainly be very proud!
