Ryan has been instructing and coaching for more than 20 years. He has worked at all levels of the Adventure Industry, from teaching and coaching youth, to training and assessing leaders and instructors in national governing body awards, to senior management at the largest outdoor centre in Europe. He is a believer in transformative coaching, in that his focus is on the person, rather than just the goal.

Ryan believes in being the most skilled, educated, prepared and capable professional possible and it is from this standpoint that he coaches his athletes.

Ryan has climbed and mountaineered extensively around the world, completed multiple Ironman Triathlons, cycled the length of the continent (and a number of countries), ran over more mountains and mountain ranges than he can count and continues to plan and chase bigger and more audacious goals every year.

An accomplished mountaineer, ultracyclist, ultra runner and multiple Ironman finisher, Ryan knows exactly what it takes to get you to where you need to be.
