Ryan grew up at LifeSpring and started serving the youth and worship ministries when he was in his teens. He met his wife, Theresa, when they were both participating in street ministry with LifeSpring in downtown Toronto. They were married at the end of 2012 and have since added two wonderful kids, Sophia and Xenia, to their family. Ryan is a PhD student in Intercultural Studies (mission studies) and teaches a course at Tyndale Seminary on missions and the church. His passion is to see the local church engaged in mission while being built up in its maturity and faith.
Ryan oversees life groups, missions, the worship ministry, and HOPE ministry at LifeSpring.
