Jessica Ryan: A Colorado Life of Passion and Purpose
Jessica Ryan first ventured to Colorado from New Jersey in 1990 for college in Fort Collins, and has lived primarily in Colorado since. When not practicing law, she enjoys spending time in her flower or herb gardens or hiking in the summer with her family and Bassett hound. In winter months, she enjoys downhill skiing or classic touring skiing in the Colorado Rockies near Dunkley Pass. She also is fond of trips to Denver to see the Colorado Ballet, to New York City and Santa Fe and the Jersey shore, buying books, soaking in hot springs, reading, donating to and attending “Literary Sojourn” in Steamboat Springs each year, cooking, yoga, listening to music, and encouraging people to go to their local library.
The J. Ryan Law hounds comfort those experiencing emotional or psychological stress and will gladly share your lunch. Pictured with J. Ryan is "Gus”, 10 years old. RIP Millie.
