The long way around
A career rarely follows the course you planned.
Ryan Drumheller grew up in Ovid, Michigan, left home at sixteen, and entered adulthood with more determination than direction. Technology gave him a way forward. He returned to college at twenty-nine, earned more than 170 professional certifications, and built a two-decade career leading people through complex technology and business change.
That path also included burnout, layoffs, ventures that did not work, and seasons when the next move was hard to see. Golf arrived later and gave Ryan a new language for preparation, recovery, risk, and the discipline of playing the next shot instead of reliving the last one.
Build
Education, certifications, technical work, and the choices that create a career one step at a time.
Recover
Burnout, rejection, failed ventures, and what it takes to move without pretending the hard parts did not happen.
Play the next shot
The lessons golf offers about judgment, patience, course management, and starting again from where the ball actually lies.
