Get to Know Ryan

I entered the U.S. Air Force in 2005 and spent the majority of my professional career serving our country.

Throughout my service in the military, I had the opportunity to work with remarkable individuals around the globe and have been fortunate to mentor service members and their families through a wide range of professional and personal issues.

In 2022, I received a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling & Marriage and Family Therapy from Hardin-Simmons University. Prior to graduating, I worked at the McMurry University Counseling Center, Hardin-Simmons Counseling Center, and BlueSprig Pediatrics where I worked with children with autism. Upon graduating, I started Clear Skies Counseling where I experience the daily joy of working with individuals, couples, and families.

My wonderful wife and I have a blended family with four incredible children. I understand the importance that relationships have in our lives as well as the inevitable challenges that accompany them.
