Ryan Yamashita is an LA native, community builder, doer, and connector.

He currently works as an Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement at his alma mater, LMU - Loyola Marymount University

He's an active volunteer with many different surf and skate organizations including Youth Mentoring Connections, Surfrider LA, Life Rolls On, and Boards for Bros (just to name a few). And through those, he's able to share his passion and love of the outdoors with others, and help make those spaces more inclusive and welcoming.

Like many of us, he leveraged the downtime of the pandemic to pursue a new side hobby, launching his own resin art business and is now creating ocean resin art on the side to bring a little piece of the ocean into others' homes. Join him on his journey at @ry.oceanresinart on Instagram!
