SSG Ryan McIntosh

Lehi, UT

Ryan McIntosh joined the Army in 2010, inspired by his brother’s military service.

On December 8, 2010, Staff Sergeant McIntosh was serving as an Infantryman with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 4th Infantry Division in Afghanistan when he stepped on a pressure plate landmine, resulting in the traumatic amputation of his right leg below the knee.

He was medically evacuated to Kandahar Airfield for immediate treatment and then transferred to Landstuhl, Germany. Stateside, he underwent additional surgery and rehabilitation at Brooke Army Medical Center.

Ryan and his wife, Hannah, are parents to Kaden and Grace. Ryan’s primary interests revolve around his family, especially supporting his children in their sports. He also enjoys working with his hands, particularly woodworking and metalworking.

Originally from Colorado, Ryan is choosing to build his home in Utah, where he currently resides.
