People-focused professional with a diverse background across professional soccer, filmmaking, financial services, podcasting, philanthropy, and restaurant service, seeking a second stable and enjoyable position.
During my time in film school in Seattle, I worked as a pizza cook and commissary manager at Zeek’s Pizza, where we made dough daily for each location and handled their produce orders.
While completing my college degree, I worked at Chili's as a server and bartender, and I really enjoyed my time there.
I began my time as a server and progressed to bar manager at a popular sports bar and grill in West Des Moines, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
In 2022, I started a weekly podcast called "soccerPod," which I'm still hosting. We feature long-form interviews with soccer legends from around the world. Currently, we are in the top 10% of soccer podcasts in terms of weekly downloads. New episodes are released every Monday, so if you’re interested in discussions about soccer, be sure to check us out.
We began a foundation in honor of our son who we lost far too early to a rare heart condition. We try to fundraise and build 'Stanley Ryder Soccer Parks' in underserved areas - a thing he woudl have loved.
