Ryan Hines

Ryan joined the Air Force in 2004, serving as a Fuels Distribution Specialist. He received a Purple Heart for wounds received in 2011, but did not let that incident derail his career. In the years following, he continued to show his leadership capabilities, using his experience in combat to inform decisions made during later deployments. Ryan is a Mission 22 Ambassador and inducted into the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor for his work with veteran suicide. This is his first time representing Team Air Force at the DoD Warrior Games and we cannot wait to see his record of PRs throughout the competition.
