Ryan Kohnen Bio
Ryan Kohnen was a successful entrepreneur by age 19. His company, Sawt, Inc., grew from a home-based business in college, to a corporation of 8 employees in Houston and San Antonio. His client list exceeded 100 and included companies from all over the United States, including two Fortune 500 firms. At 22, Kohnen sold the business and founded COACH Marketing Group until 2006.

Ryan recently returned to his entrepreneurial roots as a full-time professional speaker, by re-launching COACH Marketing Group, and serving as a partner in both Texas Business Centers, LLC and in the North San Antonio franchise of i9Sports. Currently, 29 years old, Ryan and his wife, Lacey, reside in the Texas Hill Country and are actively involved in San Antonio Sports, Circle of Champions, Founders Council of the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research and TMI-The Episcopal School of Texas.
"One of our board members said you were the best speaker we've had all year and she compared you to Tony Robbins! I agreed you were as dynamic as Tony, but you have a much more genuine quality in your personality."
