Ryan grew up in a sports family. His father was a baseball and basketball player and his younger brothers played football, basketball and hockey. So naturally, he chose to play soccer. He has been involved with soccer in some form or fashion — either as a player, coach, official or parent — for the last 38 years. After attending high school at St. Joseph Academy in St. Augustine, Ryan attended Texas A&M University on a Navy ROTC scholarship. Ryan graduated with a B.S in Chemistry and then subsequently received his master’s in Engineering Management from Old Dominion University. After graduating college Ryan was commissioned in the Navy, and served 10 years on Active duty in the Navy as a Submarine Officer. He has three great children, Connor, Mackenzie and Saoirse. Ryan decided a change of pace was in order and in 2009 started a Soccer Shots franchise in North East Florida. And in 2021, he expanded with the Soccer Shots Orlando team, and opened Soccer Shots Central Florida. Ryan is also a current Naval Reservist. Ryan keeps active by playing adult soccer and powerlifting. Ryan holds a Level VI Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and an “F” License from U.S. Soccer.

“and super instructors!“
“and Coach Leo is the best coach. He always tries to re-engage kids when their attention may be on something else or if they run off the field. He takes the time to make them feel welcome and comfortable.“
“So patient and sweet! They take the time to include every kid, work with their strengths and work on their weaknesses!“
“We’ve had three different coaches since we started Soccer Shots, and all of them have been great instructors, remembered the kids’ names, and did an excellent job getting all of the kids to participate. We’ve already recommended to several friends“
