Colleagues

Jake Ryan is the Superintendent at Northland CC in Minnesota and was an early Wish Granter, donating almost immediately after I started my campaign. Jake is a fellow superintendent and climber.

As an advocate of aligning personal growth/ development in career endeavors, Jake applies his love for turfgrass management, accomplishing goals and human communication in his profession. At the University of Minnesota, he expanded upon a dedicated work ethic rooted in personal development and team work. Since graduating he applies the same attitudes in the field of golf course management and communication.

Outside of work, Jake spends his time running, biking, climbing, hunting and dabbling with new, unexplored activities. In 2012, he finished the Superior Trail Races 50 miler and has completed many ultra marathons on the Superior Hiking Trail. Fall season is an opportunity for him to harvest animals in his hunting endeavors. During winter he can be found building confidence on the sharp edge of lead climbing mixed routes. Most recently he and his core staff members began competing in a curling league that is home to the last two USA Olympic Teams. He is recognized as person who strives to be better with a mind set that limits are self-imposed lies.


Thank you Jake for granting wishes and supporting My Wish Climb.
