During Ryan’s high school years, he was an active participant in the Best Buddies program, an international non-profit organization focused on creating one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. This experience connected him to the field of supported employment and, after completing college, Ryan moved to Connecticut and accepted a position of Employment Consultant at neba. He worked one on one with individuals, assisting them with everything from identifying their interest in a career path to obtaining paid competitive employment within their communities and continued on the jobs supports as needed.
In 2023, Ryan was promoted to a Division Supervisor in Massachusetts, overseeing the Massachusetts Department of Developmental services (DDS) programs and supports for participants residing in the Holyoke/Chicopee and Franklin/Hampshire areas. In 2025, Ryan accepted the position of Division Supervisor of Connecticut programs. He is excited to get back to his Connecticut roots and continue to work with staff to deliver the best services, using the best practices, while continuing to expand our supported employment services throughout the state!
