I am in my 2nd year as the Elementary School Psychologist at ISB. Originally from North Dakota, I previously worked as a School Psych in Bend, OR, the home of many other famed ISB teachers, namely Mike Boll. I live here in Nichada with my wife, Colleen, and two year-old son, Toren.

Ryan Ruhl

I grew up in Washington State in the USA. After completing my undergrad degree in education, I moved abroad to teach in Budapest. After 6 years of classroom teaching, I returned to the USA and did graduate school at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. My work in public schools was as an Intervention Specialist and School Psychologist. I moved back overseas and lived in Guangzhou, China, New Delhi, India, and now Bangkok, Thailand. Some passions of mine that are outside of education are cycling, climbing, and skiing.
