Meet ICS’ New Athletic Director Ryan Behmer

What's your new ICS title and position?  Athletic Director

Where are you from? If you're not originally from UT, how did you end up here? Growing up we often moved and never really settled in one location. I ended up living all over the US and enjoyed living in many places. Chicago is where I consider home when asked. God has led me to many places throughout life and brought my wife and I to UT in 2019 after living in Shanghai for a few years.

 Where do you go to Church? My wife and I are members of Gospel Hope Church in Riverton, UT.

Tell us about your family! God has blessed me with a beautiful wife who was born and raised in Hong Kong. She is a very talented musician and worked as a teacher in Shanghai.  Together we have two beautiful children. Our little girl Juliet is around 18 months old and her little brother Moses is around 3 months old.

What is something most people don't know about you? OR What are you most passionate about? I have a passion for leading others to grow in their talents God has given them. It really brings me joy to see and help others serve the Lord with their gifts.

What are you looking forward to most in your new role at ICS? It is very exciting to be back in Christian education where we have the opportunity to help students see the world from a biblical perspective. Sports gives us a great opportunity to grow in our Christian character and I look forward to helping create a culture of Christian excellence within ICS Athletics.

What else would you like the ICS community to know about you? My wife and I look forward to becoming a part of the ICS community and are thankful for the support we have experienced since I started here!

Welcome to ICS, Ryan! We are excited for you to be a part of the lion community!
