Background

About Ryan Petras

Ryan Petras has been in the financial industry since 2011 and is looking to the future with Enterprise Bank & Trust. Although he calls Wright City, MO home, he grew up in the cornfields of Illinois and has lived across the United States and in Okinawa, Japan as a United States Marine (1998 - 2002) where he obtained an Honorable Discharge after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom directly after September 11, 2001. Ryan feels those years had a hand in shaping him as someone who adapts well to change, and has given him a character of discipline you cannot find anywhere else. He has a proven record to be an excellent communicator throughout his employment history as well as through his volunteer efforts as a National Public Relations Chairperson, Department Vice Commandant & Chaplain, and Detachment Commandant & Chaplain. He welcomes challenges and approaches every situation with optimism and a positive team spirit. He believes that everyone should be treated with the care and respect that they deserve. Ryan finds his center as husband and father to his daughter who he and his wife adopted in 2014. He contributes time to religious needs within the church of Christ congregation he calls home located in Wentzville, through teaching and preaching when opportunities arise. Furthermore, Ryan also enjoys volunteering as the Marine4Life Liaison within the Marine4Life Program. He is constantly looking for opportunities to assist and help the community he surrounds himself with. He has strong feelings that you can only expect to get out what your willing to put in, so he also is an Ambassador for Vets4Warriors who have taken the challenge of reducing Veteran Suicides through means of talking to each Veteran in need whenever they need to talk.
