About ryan

Ryan lives in the Spackenkill area with his wife and four children, ages 2 years to thirteen years old. He is accustomed to doing things that are frustrating, demanding, and often exhilarating: an attorney for twenty years, he works in the Dutchess County Public Defender’s office, where he provides advocacy for individuals in Family Court and Criminal Court proceedings while helping them navigate systems that are unfamiliar. Ryan’s motivation comes from serving others who may feel they have been ignored or abandoned.

As an incumbent town board member, he wants to ensure clean air and water are protected. He will work for fiscal sustainability, transparency, and true oversight, to ensure that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.
