Member Monday: Ryan Ivy

It’s Ryan’s birthday today and no better way to celebrate Ryan than by featuring him in today’s Member Monday.  If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting Ryan you know how truly nice he is.  If you’ve ever seen him in the gym, you know how truly strong he is.  Happy birthday to the nicest, strongest guy we know!

 

Tell us about yourself.  Work?  Family life?

I am a pastor at Crawford Baptist Church and currently pursuing my MBA degree at Liberty University.  I escaped the friend zone and was blessed to marry the most incredible woman in the world, Kierstin.
