How does God take a man who perfected moves on the gritty division one college wrestling mat to skillfully position himself in the realm of Artificial Intelligence, monetizing a start-up, and creating a scholarship for high school athletes, all at the age of 24, while being an officer in the Army? This is the story of Ryan Hetrick. As in Psalm 78:72, Ryan is leading others “with skillful hands.”
