Ryan, born and raised in the North Texas area. From the moment he can remember he has always had a passion for the game of baseball. Ryan, went on to play college baseball at the University of Texas in Arlington and had a decorated college career. In 2007, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals where he learned and developed with some of the best coaches and players in the game. In 2013, he retired and started an elite training facility back home in North Texas. With his passion for baseball and helping young athletes he went on to coach and train many college and professional baseball players over the next several years. 

Ryan has been an MLB certified agent for 5+ years now, while maintaining the same love and respect for his clients, and their careers, like it were his own. He also loves helping families navigate through the draft process and has a great reputation with teams in the negotiations of many professional contracts. 

Ryan is also happily married to his beautiful wife, Shaina, who is a successful broker in Texas. Together, they have two, amazing, young boys. 

​Mike, also a founding partner, brought 30 years of business experience to MSM Sports, including 15 as owner of his own business, before the formation of MSM.  While professional baseball is a game for all to enjoy, it is also very much a business and Mike brings his years of management and negotiating skills to benefit our clients needs in the baseball business. His knowledge of the business world assures MSM will strive to capitalize on any opportunity that will further enhance our client's careers, both on and off the field. His reputation for being ethically, morally, and financially strong has proven to be a major asset to all our clients. Having previously coached baseball for over 15 years, Mike's knowledge of the game lends perfectly to his primary role at MSM Sports as Vice President/Director of Operations.

TIM WOOD

​Minority Owner

"Jonathan, Mike and I met in 2004 and after meeting with multiple agencies it was easy to choose MSM. Their knowledge of ways to represent off the field in addition to their connections and communication to on field representatives allowed me to focus solely on becoming the best baseball player I could be."

Tim, was a multi sport athlete growing up where he didn’t focus solely on baseball until his senior year of high school.

Tim was drafted in the 44th round of the 2003 draft by the Florida Marlins, and made his MLB debut with Marlins on June 29th, 2009. After his career on the field came to an end in 2013, it was an easy transfer for him to enter into coaching and mentoring players in all aspects of the game.

Tim and his family, Caitlin, Zoë, and Mia live in Jupiter Florida. ​
