NAME & GRADUATION YEAR:
Ryan Cullinan '10
WHO YOU ARE:
My name is Ryan and I am a fun-loving, loyal person who is always active and determined to keep a positive and energetic attitude no matter what I do.
BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT SINCE GRADUATION:
I would have to say my biggest accomplishment has been starting my own business, Off The Saddle. It has been a challenging process and stressful at times, but remains the most exciting and rewarding endeavor I have ever taken on.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A TCU ALUMNI:
Definitely the community! I love being part of such a strong, tight knit group of individuals, not only in Fort Worth, but throughout the state of TX and around the US.
FAVORITE MEMORY WHILE IN SCHOOL AT TCU:
There are so many, but I had to pick on, it would be my time as Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter President. Through that role I learned so much, as well as made lifelong friendships.
WHERE CAN YOU BE FOUND ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON:
At my studio, Off The Saddle! (wiping down sweaty bikes)

I was born and raised in Scottsdale, AZ. I attended TCU from 2006-2010, where I received my bachelors degree in finance. Soon after graduation, I moved back to AZ to work as a marketing coordinator. I soon transitioned to a sales associate position for Pure Adventures, a travel company specializing in bike tours throughout the US and Europe. In 2012, I decided to pack up and move back to Fort Worth. I was fortunate enough to keep my job and work remotely, but I felt like something was missing. I realized what I missed was my favorite activity, spinning, which I did regularly, if not daily in AZ. Next thing I know, after 5 months of long days and nights, Off The Saddle is opening its doors on the bricks of Camp Bowie. I love being involved and teaching class. It has allowed me to share my passion with others and has been great to meet new people and welcome them into our “spin family”. I hope that in the coming years, I can continue helping more and more people start, or continue, their journey towards a healthier and more active lifestyle!
