Meet Ryan Heatherman

Mr. Heatherman started his career as an Officer in the United States Marine Corps, where he prosecuted courts-martial, including numerous jury trials, and later, deployed to Afghanistan with an infantry battalion.

As a federal prosecutor, Mr. Heatherman had the opportunity to lead in several different roles.
