Ryan P. McDermott is an executive in the aerospace and defense industry and a former senior Pentagon official, specializing in national security policy, finance, and government relations.
A US Army veteran, he served from 2000 to 2006, leading a platoon into combat with the 3rd Infantry Division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

His book: Downriver follows Ryan McDermott on a gripping and deeply personal journey through war, ambition, loss, and redemption. From losing his childhood home to foreclosure to facing the unseen scars of the 2003 Iraq invasion and navigating the cutthroat world of Wall Street at the moment of its 2008 collapse, McDermott's experiences reflect the highs and lows of the American dream. Here he explores his fight to build a family, confront his past, and reclaim his identity.
Interwoven with poignant poetry, Downriver is a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the enduring power of hope-a journey that will inspire readers to examine their own history, embrace their truth, and reconnect with what matters most.
