Ryan Prostejovsky has always had a passion for the outdoors. He grew up accompanied by his skis, mountain bike, backpack, and climbing gear in the mountains of southern Arizona. After the family move, he attended college at James Madison University, where he studied Media Arts and Design – a field that interested him, but Ryan’s real passion lay in the mountains. He spent his free time exploring the surrounding wilderness until his graduation, when he realized that he had to share his love for nature. He is excited to join Teton Science Schools to do precisely that, as well as grow as an educator and outdoorsman.
