Ryan Sanford

I am honored to serve on the Board of the NoahBRAVE Foundation. I was introduced to the Evans Family through my wife, Natalie, who bonded with Lori as we went through various chronic health challenges with our daughter Kate. Our family’s connection grew deeper as Kate became involved in Christian Youth Theater (CYT) Nashville over the past several years. I have always been inspired by Noah, and the tremendous impact his life continues to have on so many.

Professionally, I bring nearly 25 years of experience in the medical device and healthcare landscape. Most recently I serve as a National Sales Director for Boston Scientific, with a focus on our Veteran and Military Hospitals. This background has provided me valuable insights into leadership, marketing, sales operations, and overall healthcare solutions. I am eager to apply my background and skills to the best of my ability in supporting the NoahBRAVE Foundation's unwavering mission.

My wife Natalie and I have been married for nearly 20 years, and we have 4 teenage children: Garyn (19), Kate (17), Gianna (16), and Kai (16). We reside in Franklin, TN, after moving down from Indianapolis, IN in 2016. 

 In our free time, our family loves traveling overseas to experience the fantastic cultures our world has to offer. We enjoy rooting on our beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as well as our recently adopted Auburn Tigers. Most importantly, Natalie and I cherish the time we spend with our children, hearing about their challenges, perspectives, and dreams!
