Meet The Author

A fourth-generation Florida native, Ryan Duncan is a true Renaissance man with a passion for exploring life’s many facets. Educated in business economics, he has spent his career delving into everything from commercial fishing and regenerative farming to building successful financial services businesses. Most recently, he’s channeled his entrepreneurial spirit into investing in fun and fulfilling projects.

As a husband and father of five, Ryan has always been deeply connected to family, a theme that shines through in his writing. Inspired by a lifelong fascination with genealogy and the mysteries of ancestry, he penned his debut novel to explore the profound impact of generational blessings and curses on identity and history. Driven by a curiosity about the stories of those who came before us, he’s created a work that bridges the gap between the past and present in a gripping and relatable way.

When he’s not writing or diving into his latest project, Ryan enjoys traveling with his family, hiking and surfing in Costa Rica, and spending summers in Montana camping and fly fishing. His love of nature and family is at the heart of everything he does, including his storytelling.
