Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m a trusted advisor, researcher, and guide working with founders, investors, executives, actors, entrepreneurs, and creators navigating meaningful thresholds in their lives and work.

My work sits at the intersection of identity, creativity, leadership, relationship, and culture. Through private advisory work, speaking, retreats, and doctoral research, I help people see the deeper patterns shaping who they are, what they’re building, and what may be trying to emerge next.

Over the past fifteen years, my work has taken me from military and surgical medicine to philosophy, depth psychology, indigenous wisdom traditions, myth, and art-as-research — and into rooms with Fortune 100 leaders, venture-backed founders, YPO communities, artists, and public figures.

I’m less interested in giving people more information than helping them see differently. Sometimes that means reimagining a life. Sometimes a company. Sometimes a relationship, a culture, or the story holding an entire system in place.
