After training in graphic design, Ryan spent two years doing design work in Papua New Guinea with SIL-PNG. There he produced public health brochures, annual reports, and PR materials. Later he trained as a Publishing Specialist and worked in Southeast Asia as the Publication Coordinator. Ryan helped guide translation projects through the publication process to get God's Word to His people within Southeast Asia.

Now, Ryan serves from Dallas, Texas as the International Scripture Production Manager in the Global Publishing Services department. He works alongside translation teams in the final steps of getting God's Word to people in their own mother tongue around the World. In addition to typesetting, consistency checking of in-process projects, and other tasks as needed within the Global Publishing Services department, he manages Scripture projects (Portions, New Testaments, and Bibles), builds partnerships, and communicates with vendors and colleagues.

Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation by becoming a prayer and financial partner.
