Watching Ryder grow from a problem solving child to a problem solving and focused high school Senior has been amazing! He loves “flying high” over the bar and is excited every time he gets the opportunity to sharpen his skills! He works hard academically and athletically. Ryder loves his family, his friends, and his school. So glad I got to watch him grow. Go for it all Ryder Pagel!
