Ryan Redden was born in Talihina OK, and grew up in the River Valley. At age 15 his very first job was in coffee, behind the counter pouring out cups of “joe” at a local cafe. He has since held every position behind the counter, from busboy to owner-operator of his small roasting company, all the way up to Director of Operations for national brands while in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and in The Pacific Northwest. In 2014, gaining acclaim as Top 5 US coffee maker in the documentary film Barista, he competed to be the best in the world at making coffee. With more than 20 years in the specialty coffee industry, combined with high end bar and restaurant operations, Ryan has a complete understanding of large business operations. Ryan’s professional and personal experiences have taken him all over the world. Consulting eventually brought him back home to Oklahoma doing what he loves: Coffee. At Good Day, his primary concern is good coffee and good people.
