Having dedicated his life to discovering and implementing solutions to climate change, food insecurity, and peak oil five years ago, Ryan decided to found Global Climate Solutions in 2008 to advocate for serious sustainable solutions.
Ryan completed his undergraduate work at Naropa University (Boulder, CO) in 2006 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies where he wrote a 250 page thesis paper on community sustainability and survival in light of peak oil and climate change. He has worked for wind, solar, and energy conservation companies in the past. He is presently enrolled in Columbia University’s Climate and Society program in New York.
