Ryan Doyle
Ryan Doyle
Founder & Director

Ryan is a 22-year-old senior at the University of Michigan majoring in psychology with a background in business. Ryan grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and was top of his class at Lahser High School. At the University of Michigan, Ryan began his entrepreneurial efforts by acting as the Human Relations Officer in a co-founded club called Great Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow (G.E.T.), which was a University Club, aimed at finding an elite selection of Michigan students interested in entrepreneurship. Later, he interned for a summer at ePrize which is the #1 online interactive promotions company in the world. There he gained valuable experiences regarding how a successful business is built and the type of atmosphere needed to keep people motivated and excited.

Growing up, Ryan always aspired to be a difference maker. A perfect example of this was when he told his parents that he wanted to be a motivation speaker when he grew up (he was only 13 year old at the time). Ryan has always had the mindset of being an agent of change, an example to others and a leader for all. Live to Give Foundation is his first large scale endeavor at making a difference in people’s lives. Ryan’s vision for the future of Live to Give is to affect as many lives as possible and even more hearts.

Personal Note: “I have lived a life of infinite blessings. For this reason, I feel that it is time to give back to those who have not been able to share my fortunes.”
