Personal Interests
Ryan has been published twice in the Idaho Advocate for his theories on protecting the intellectual property aspects of synthetic gemstones. These legal pursuits overlap with his personal life, as he travels to deserts, forests, and mountains around the country to mine for precious and semi-precious gemstones by hand. An opal that he extracted from the earth became the center stone for the engagement ring he used to propose to his now-wife.
