Ryan United started in 2003 rooted in the experiences of Derek VanLuchene and his family, who lost his brother, Ryan to a violent sexual predator in 1987. Since that time Derek invested himself in his response to this tragedy first by becoming a law enforcement officer in Montana and by establishing Ryan United. Derek has traveled the country sharing his story and meeting with other victim families, networking with professionals and groups focused on putting a stop to sexual predation against children in America. Ryan United has been represented in several forums around the country, and has worked with hundreds of people over the last several years ranging from victims of this crime to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. Dereks personal presence, expertise and commitment have become widely known and serves as a valuable vehicle to:

• Motivate people to engage or stay engaged in activities to stop sexual predators
• Strengthen the community of people and programs active in this area, challenging  groups to come together and focus on the problem by reducing bureaucratic barriers or other limitations in their effectiveness
• Teach service providers
• Assist victims of crime
