Ryan joined the PTH board in January 2011, but has been a leader and full time volunteer at PTH since March of 2006, less than a year after he first became homeless. The first day that he walked into the office, was our first sleep-out in protest of warehoused vacant property. Ryan was invited to join and said “Why not, I’m sleeping on the street anyway!” Ryan grew up on Long Island, where his family still resides. Ryan has worked as an office manager, and he also enjoys singing, and if you go to Central Park and see the bubble folks, the ones that use bamboo sticks to make enormous, magical bubbles, then one of them is likely to be Ryan, so say hello!
