My name is Ryan, the Manager of Military & Veteran affairs. I am a Marine Corps veteran and served 4 years as a Diesel Mechanic, Combat Marksmanship Coach, and Regimental Color Sergeant with two deployments to Iraq in 2007 and 2009. I assist student veterans, military affiliated families, active-duty service members, reservists, and National Guardsmen during the application process through graduation.
