Ryan 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, and another subsequent 11 years in the Navy Reserve, serving in Afghanistan and Germany during that time. Ryan decided a change of pace was in order and in 2009 started a Soccer Shots franchise in Jacksonville, expanding to St. Augustine two years later. Recently in 2021, he expanded operations to Soccer Shots Central Florida, Soccer Shots Tallahassee, and Soccer Shots Emerald Coast. Ryan keeps active by playing adult soccer and powerlifting. Ryan holds a Level VI Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, an “F” License from U.S. Soccer, and a Level 2 Coaching Certification in Archery. He has three great children, Connor, Mackenzie, and Saoirse.

“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“
