"I would like to thank Ryan for all that he has done to build an excellent men's soccer program at Purdue Northwest," said Director of Athletics Rick Costello.

"It has been an honor to work with so many great coaches and support staff. To the assistant coaches who have worked on staff with me over the last 8 seasons, I cannot thank you enough for the time, dedication and support that you have given to developing our student-athletes in the classroom, on the field and in society. To the student-athletes who I have been fortunate enough to guide throughout my time at PNW, thank you for giving your all and for leaving the program in a better position than you found it. I am excited for my new challenge and looking forward to being the number one fan of the PNW men's soccer team."
