About Ryan:

Ryan has always had a love of cars growing up, however it wasn't until 2006 when he was first introduced into a VW Gti and the 'Car Scene' world. From there it quickly expanded to helping with the local VW club in Edmonton, to taking on a few years as club president. But Ryan wanted more... traction that is. Which in 2012 led him down the natural progression from VW's and into his first Audi. He found himself a 2007 VR6 A3 down in Miami with 10k miles on the clock, a quick look over from some local Fourtitude forum members and he booked himself and his now wife (Girlfriend of two months at the time) a flight down to pick up said Audi. From there the Audi family as it were has blossomed for Ryan and his wife, they've gone through a few Audis and are clearly hooked on the brand. His wife drives a lifted 2018 Q5 that they pull their Airstream Basecamp X (Ryan does most of the drive, let's be honest now) and Ryan has himself a new 2020 A4 allroad that replaced his outgoing 2013 A4 allroad.

In a natural transition to the club, Ryan also runs a local cars and coffee in Edmonton that has been going steady since 2014 that sees all makes and models from a Miata to an Aventador show up. He is looking forward to the future of the club at the helm as President and doing his best to ensure that the club is an enjoyable group for all of us like minded Audi enthusiasts.
