Raised in Cabot, Vermont, a small town known for its cheese, Ryland was home schooled by free-thinking parents who saw no need for running water. He became an entrepreneur at the ripe old age of 13, launching a statewide skiing publication. Ryland attended Idaho State University, graduating as a member of the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau. After working as an emergency nurse at St Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, Ryland returned to his entrepreneurial roots, founding Elevated Hydration with Dr. Brent Russell. They built a niche medical business in Ketchum, Idaho, providing IV hydration and vitamin therapy. As the business grew they looked to expand to other regions of Idaho and rebranded as Exten IV. As CEO Exten, Ryland is excited to bring the benefits of IV therapy to communities throughout Idaho.
