Meet the Blackhawk Family
Ryan’s journey into the world of computers and networking began in 1994 at Heald College in Hayward, California. With no car, his passion for the field led him to take a 2-hour bus ride each way, often without money for lunch. After graduating, he was instantly hired at Cirrus Logic, where he met his wife, Bernadette. Ryan went on to work for major tech giants, including Sony Electronics, WebMD.com, and Hewlett-Packard, supporting the CEOs and other powerful figures. His work often required him to be escorted by security, who would watch his every move as he worked on their computers. In 2015, Ryan started his own company, Blackhawk Computers.
Ryan’s journey has been marked by resilience. In 2016, he became blind due to health problems. After a year and a half, his vision was restored, but in 2019, his kidneys failed. He spent a month in the hospital but never gave up, working from his hospital bed. He now attends dialysis four times a week but continues to work on his computers during treatment. He credits his wife for her unwavering support during these hard times.
His hobbies include R/C Cars, Salt Water Aquariums, Web Design, Riding his E-Bike, and Drawing Anime. He also enjoys playing retro games from the 80s and 90s. When he has time, he enjoys spending time with his family and his cat, Nino.
