In this episode, I decided to talk about my own journey. I have been asked by many people since I discuss journeys and stories of others, I should I sit down and explain a little bit of myself.


I am from Baltimore, Maryland and attended Gilman School. I went to the University of South Carolina and Indian River State College for one year each. After my sophomore year of college, I was drafted by the Nationals in the 15th round and started my professional career in 2014. I played for 8 seasons with the Nationals and Orioles organizations. I reached the AAA level (one below the Major Leagues) and retired from baseball in the summer of 2022.


I grew up with a recognizable last name. My family was well known in the baseball world and in the community. Many people know me as the "son of Cal Ripken Jr", but I want you all to just meet Ryan.
