Rylee was born and raised in the Buffalo, NY area and earned a Bachelor's degree in Finance and Economics with a minor in Entrepreneurship from John Carroll University in May 2026.

In his sophomore year at JCU, Rylee founded the university's Club Baseball program from the ground up, navigating the full process of building a roster, securing field access, and establishing a competitive presence in the NCBA. The program earned back-to-back playoff appearances in its first two seasons. In May 2026, the Blue Streaks captured the NCBA Division III National Championship, outscoring opponents 49 - 7 in districts and 31 - 4 at the world series. Following graduation, Rylee joined the NCBA as District III Director to continue growing the game at the club level.

In his free time, Rylee enjoys golf, baseball analytics, and supporting his hometown Buffalo Bills and Sabres.

"Founding JCU Club Baseball taught me that if you care enough about something, you find away to make it real. The NCBA gave our program a stage to compete on and ultimately a championship to play for. I am excited to help other programs in District III have that same experience."
