Ryan McClelland
After graduating from Liberty High School in 1999, Ryan attended Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on a basketball and leadership scholarship. During his freshman year, Ryan joined the starting line up, and received the Newcomer of the Year Award. Despite his successful freshman season at Westminster, Ryan transferred to the University of Missouri-Columbia.
At MU, Ryan joined the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. In 2003, Ryan graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Business Management. Deciding to pursue a legal career, Ryan is now attending Pepperdine University School of Law, located in Malibu, California.
Recently, Ryan was elected President of the Student Bar Association, the student government of the law school. This summer, Ryan will work as a Summer Associate for one of the largest law firms in Los Angeles, California.
Expecting to graduate in 2006, Ryan has yet to decide whether to stay in Los Angeles, or return home to join his father, Kelly McClelland, at McClelland Law Firm, P.C. in Liberty, Missouri.
Ryan would also like to thank his family for their love and support over the years.
