He was an undergraduate of Western Michigan University; did graduate work at WMU, CMU and U of M. He interned under retired FBI agent Dr. John E. Douglas—one of the first criminal profilers and who’s insights and methods were crucial in understanding the behavior of Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. James went on to lead an extensive and diversified career that spanned the fields of mental health, corrections, substance abuse counseling, motivation, and human resources. His professional career has crossed the boundaries of both the public and private sectors allowing him the opportunity to develop numerous employee assistance programs, counseling services, and education programs. James also taught at many Michigan universities and colleges.
James was proud to hold numerous certifications in: EMDR, Anger Management, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling, Gambling, Clinical Supervision, Counseling Criminal Justice Offenders, Clinical Hypnosis, Imago Relationship Therapy. In addition he was a member of the International Academy of Behavioral Medicine, Counseling and Psychotherapy, and held Diplomate Status in Professional Psychotherapy and also Chemical Dependency Counseling.
He was a strong believer in the importance of lifelong learning and was a voracious reader. Over the past three years, he developed a passion for painting. He enjoyed trips to Traverse City, where his wife's family spent time during her childhood, and loved the beaches there. Most of all, he loved his family, especially his children and grandchildren.
Surviving are children, Michael Ryan, Steven (Michael Allen) Ryan and Kathleen Ryan; grandchildren, Zoë and Mya Ryan-Riley.
He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Judith as well as his sister, Janice Crim.
