About Ryan
Hi :) I'm an MBA graduate of Stanford's GSB (focus on entrepreneurship & energy), and I've helped coach folks like you get into the GSB and HBS regular and deferred MBA programs. My journey includes roles in venture capital, entrepreneurship, and engineering. I was also a D1 athlete, but am sadly "washed up" and retired. Whether you're looking to refine your essays, prepare for interviews, or develop a strong application strategy, I'm here to help - let's get you into your dream school!
