Hello
I’m Ryan Curry, the driving force behind the LastVet initiative and the Last 1 Nonprofit organizations—initiatives born from a simple yet powerful belief: leave no one behind, especially not forgotten. Whether it’s veterans in need of a check-in, communities looking for connection, or systems that need changing, my work is focused on showing up, creating impact, and building solutions that last.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been someone who sees systems—not just the pieces, but the connections between them. My journey began with leadership roles across industries, from business operations to cultural development, where I helped teams align visions, optimize processes, and grow.
But the real story starts with a call to serve something greater.
As a veteran, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that come after service: the isolation, the lack of accountability, the cracks in systems that should provide care but don’t. I knew we could do better. LastVet was born out of this realization—a campaign to connect every veteran, ask the simple question “How are you, really?”, and ensure no one slips through the cracks.
From veterans to broader communities, my mission is about creating lasting change. Whether it’s through Last 1 Nonprofit, the productions at Last 1 Studios, or the ongoing journey with LastVet, everything I do is focused on driving impact, sparking connection, and rebuilding systems to serve people the way they deserve.
It’s not about doing the work for others—it’s about showing up, building pathways, and empowering people to move forward.
I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities that make an impact. Let's connect.
