jen & i really appreciate all of the interest & questions we have received about what we are doing next with our lives.
here is the simplified version:
- after 11 years on staff @ Central, i am heading out into new leadership pursuits; i finish my run on staff @ the end of Oct. 2008 [thank you to Cal & all the leaders who make Central a great place to work]
- we will be living in Mesa through the end of the school year; still attending and volunteering @ Central
- eventually (by Jan. 2010) we will be starting a brand new church under the umbrella of Orchard group.
- we aren’t certain WHERE yet, but we are leaning towards Seattle or Baltimore/D.C.
- for now I am ‘feeding the family’ by leading in 2 very exciting endeavors:
- Strip Church – Las Vegas – new ministry outreach w/ long time friend Craig Gross
- Factor1Studios – local – business partnership w/ good friend & fellow mtn. biker Matt Adams
Hey Ryan, its great to hear things are moving along for you. It would be great if you ended up here in Seattle. I missed seeing you when you were here a few weeks ago. Bummer. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Ryan,
Thanks for posting this update. I’m excited for you, Jen and the boys. Take care.

Hello Ryan,
You don’t know me, but I am a 3F resident at Central, and I’ve been reading your Red Bike Leader site for a while now. Jeremy and Jared told me either that you started or helped start the residency program. I just wanted to say that both your site and this program are affecting me tremendously, and I pray that God blesses you wherever you end up. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work.
