Lead Coach • ryansharbrough@parkourvisions.org

Ryan started coaching parkour at the age of 15 with Firestorm Freerunning in California. Ryan grew up playing team sports, but he felt stifled by the strict rules and limited definitions of success. In parkour, he finally found the creativity and freedom of expression that motivated him to excel. Ryan also enjoys immersing himself in storytelling of kinds, whether reading and writing, movies and cinema, or anime and manga. His other major passion is designing and playing video games, and he plans to study game design and production at AIE in the fall.

Lead Parkour Coach • johnthomsen@parkourvisions.org

John brings 27 years of skiing experience and 10 years of snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing to his role as a parkour coach. He is a certified climbing and skiing instructor, and he has completed our Leap to Lead Coach Development Program. He gravitated to parkour six years ago because he wanted to stay active outdoors when it was too warm to ski and too wet to climb. John loves learning and attempts to pick up at least two new hobbies per year.
