In February 2021, I hosted a live video music event to promote the GoFundMe to help Sam and Rebecca recover from a house fire. Luckily no-one was hurt in the fire, but the family lost just about everything.

Sam and I went to high school together, jammed together in guitar classes, competed on the same baseball teams, and I've even been his coach in legion ball. Ryan gathered musicians including Hannah Harlan, Nic Snow, Mariano Di Gabriele, and even Sam Mousley!

Since 2018 Ryan and his band members have worked with the American Heart Association to help raise funds and host events to fight Heart Disease. This year, we have two 5K Fundraiser Races planned for November 2021!

In September 2021 and previously in 2019, Ryan has volunteered for the Lutheran Community Services Organization helping to celebrate the 30th annual Hunger Walk/Run!
