Ryan grew up in his family’s business, Tune Trucking in Patoka learning the value of hard work and dedication by watching his father and grandfather from an early age. Ryan loved his job and was proud to continue in his family’s footsteps, by offering his best to the customers he served. He appreciated the peace and solitude of country life, enjoying time hunting, camping, farming, and washing and polishing his semi.
