Ryan Jahnke & Natalie Evans

Ryan Jahnke has been involved with skating for 37 years. He started skating as a child with his friends who played hockey. He soon switched to figure skating and fell in love with it. “I felt like I could defy gravity and there was always a new challenge to overcome.” And Ryan did overcome the challenges to become the gold medalist in Novice mens singles freestyle. He continued on and became a member of Team USA for 10 years and ranked in the top 10 in the world of figure skating.

“It was a great ride as a competitor. Now I love to spend time with my bride of 20 years, Tashiana, and our four young children.”
Ryan is currently a mortgage broker providing home loans and refinancing. He continues to be involved with figure skating as a coach and choreographer at the US Olympic Training Facility at the Broadmoor World Arena.  Ryan specializes in singles freestyle and is master rated in both freestyle and field moves. When Ryan is not working as a mortgage broker, coaching at the World Arena, or spending time with his family, he plays on an indoor soccer team, enjoys trail running and is involved in volunteer activities at his church. Ryan also leads a monthly dinner/ bible study for skaters through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, for which Ryan extends an open invitation to anyone who wants to participate.
