Ryan Hunter is a Columbus, OH native. He resides in Reynoldsburg, OH with his wife, Elizabeth, and their three sons. During the day, he and his wife co-own and operate a gym known as S.P.Y.K. Fitness. In the evenings, Ryan enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports, and taking their family dog, Layla, for long walks.
Ryan's passion for writing children's books to raise awareness for Congenital Heart Disease was ignited after going through a personal family trial of his own. His youngest son, Roman, was born with a congenital heart defect known as Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). Roman's diagnosis wasn't discovered until a couple hours after his birth. His wife had a 'normal' and healthy pregnancy. The news swept them off their feet and rocked their world. With the support of loved ones, and most importantly, their faith, Ryan and Elizabeth have taken one of their greatest tragedies as parents and turned it into their testimony as they are helping so many other families cope with the many ups and downs the life of living with a CHD child can bring as they share their story.
'Are You Listening' was based off the true story of Ryan's son, Roman. Although the story is very personal to him, Ryan wrote the book in a way that other families could make it personal to their own CHD journey. He left intentional fill-in-the-blanks so that families could insert their own children's names to make the story personalized. His mission of writing this book was to create a resource for families to relate to in a time where they may feel alone and helpless as they watch their child, sibling, or grandchild live with CHD.
Ryan and his publishing team, Hunter Kidz Books, has been collaborating with Nationwide Children's Hospital of Columbus and many local churches in Central Ohio to bring his book to storefront to spread awareness for a disease that is personal and heartfelt to him.
