Hello! My name is Ryan VanAlstein.
I have the best wife in the world, Jen. I have a 12 year old daughter and a 1 1/2 year old son. I've owned Adaptive Networks (a managed IT company) since 2009. Jen and I like to travel in our spare time. I love heavy metal and music festivals, and our boxers, Harry and Lloyd.
This is my first time being involved with the League of Dreams. My wife is serving on the Wine Women and Shoes Committee. I have heard many great things about the organization and know several families that are involved.
I think it is important for every kids to get the chance to play. I encourage my kids to play sports since I believe in help with many other skills, not just athleticism. I think every child should have access to those learning opportunities. Those skill help prepare all of us for the world.
Please consider donating to my fundraiser for the League of Dreams as a Shoe Guy for Wine Women and Shoes.
