Following a brief tour for the State of Alaska as a scientific observer on commercial fishing boats, he taught science in the public school system for four years.

Camp Community College in August 2006. His ready smile, sense of humor, dedication to study, and caring for others quickly earned the trust and respect of his classmates and college faculty. He was elected President of the Class of 2008.

His time here was short, but he will never be forgotten. Ryan?s classmates said it best at their capping ceremony when they read a poem in his memory called ?The Dash? by Linda Ellis.
