Ryan is a 2nd generation Hong Kong-American immigrant living in Salt Lake City, Utah. He enjoys climbing (bouldering & trad), backpacking, photography, and skiing and has shaped his life to be surrounded by the outdoors. Since moving to Salt Lake City with his wife and dog (Trinh and Dahlia), Ryan has become deeply involved with the local climbing community. He was an organizing leader of Color the Wasatch (CTW), a climbing affinity group that worked to increase access to climbing for people of color and currently serves as Treasurer and Board Member for the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance (SLCA). Through a combination of personal outdoor experiences and these volunteer experiences, he’s grown a passion for elevating unheard voices in our outdoor community.
