Ryan Person is in his third year as vocal music director at Okoboji High School in Milford, Iowa.  He received his BA degree from Luther College in 2005.  Ryan directs the curricular choirs, show choir, men’s barbershop chorus, teaches music theory, private voice lessons, and directs the fall musical at Okoboji.  While at Luther, Ryan was the president of the Nordic Choir under the direction of Weston Noble, and vice-president of the Future Music Educators Association (FMEA). 

Ryan is an active member of ICDA.  Along with serving as the Men’s R&S Chair, he has been a chair of the ICDA Northwest Iowa Honor Choir for two years.  Away from school, Ryan enjoys serving as a director of the Algona Cornbelt Chorus of Algona, Iowa.

Ryan is married to wife, Abby, who is a Pre-Kindergarten teacher and coach in the Okoboji Community Schools.

I look forward to serving ICDA over the course of the next three years as Men's R&S Chair.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have during the school year.  Also, please take the opportunity to browse the Men's repertoire list below.  It is full of great suggestions with varying genres of TTBB, TTB, and TB men's literature.

Good luck this year!
