Ryan is a lifelong Portlander and University of Oregon graduate who has spent his career helping organizations grow with strong financial foundations. He started in public accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers, earned his CPA, and has since led finance teams across several companies. He now serves as Chief Financial Officer at Hansen Hunter, where he focuses on building scalable systems and supporting a mission-driven team.

Ryan joined the Harper’s Playground board as a way to give back to his hometown and to help create community spaces where every child and every family feels welcome.

When he’s not knee-deep in spreadsheets, Ryan is usually outside running marathons, exploring trails, or spending time with his wife and their three boys.

Our community and society is a better place when we encourage kids to be active and imaginative. Harper's Playground does this while building an inclusive environment that can be shared by all and encourages compassion and understanding. I love the opportunity to be a part of something that can bring joy to a child and build a stronger community.
