About this listen

In this inspiring episode, Ryan Kreitzer shares his unique journey from attending daycare at the Northeast Iowa Community College Calmar campus to leading the Cresco Center as its director. With deep family ties to the College — including his mother’s return to education and his great uncle’s role in founding the center — Ryan’s story is one of legacy, purpose and coming home.

After earning college credits in high school, studying sports management at the University of Iowa and working in the NBA, Ryan realized his true calling was serving his community. He discusses the dynamic nature of his role, the impact of guiding students through uncertainty and the power of a supportive team.
