Ryan joined CUB in 2023 as an Economist. With a background in climate economics research, he hopes to draw on his expertise to serve Oregonians by figuring out how to always keep them satisfied with the utility services they receive whilst meeting new challenges brought on by climate change. Ryan has a BBA in Finance and a BS in Mathematics from the University of Houston, and a MS in Economics from the University of Oregon. When not working, he can be found in his beloved city of Portland marathon-training in streets and trails, trying new vegan restaurants, and browsing at Powell’s.
