My name is Ryan Hahn and have lived in the Center Grove area for the past 15 years, with my wife Heather and our three sons, Jacob (11), Teddy (9) and Will (6). Our family can be found coming and going to Sugar Grove and various sporting events year round. In our down time we love to travel as a family and work to stay in touch with close friends and family near and far. I have been coming to All Pro Dads since Jacob started Kindergarten (and would hold my hand on the walk to Room 7) up until today when I get to walk all three boys to class after breakfast. The time to connect to my sons one on one and share their view of the world is cherished and look forward to continuing the monthly tradition well past their elementary school years.
