Ryan Hess worked in law enforcement for two decades before changing careers to become an attorney. While working as a police officer, Ryan attended Concord Law School at Purdue Global University. He graduated from law school in 2020 and passed the California bar in 2021. In November of 2022, he was admitted to practice law in Colorado.
