Ryan's lifelong interest in birds led to his enrolment in the undergraduate biology program at Queen's University. He then decided to finish his undergraduate education at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) where he received his B.Sc. in Zoology in 1998. He immediately enrolled in the graduate program under the supervision of Dave Ankney at UWO.
