My name is James Ryan, and I am the Village Manager at Oak Tree Retirement Village, Boronia Heights.

I was born in Brisbane and have spent most of my life here, except for a 12 month work relocation to beautiful Western Australia.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active and have been competing in boxing for over 10 years. I also coach aspiring boxers of various ages in my spare time.

My career background is management in process cleaning, where I have been fortunate to lead large teams of up to 120 people at Australia’s largest smallgoods manufacturing plant.

One of life’s greatest gifts is to have the ability and opportunity to change people’s lives for better and I actively search for opportunities where I can achieve this. This is what has attracted me to Oak Tree which are a team of like-minded people, all committed to ensuring every resident has a special experience in our beautiful village.

I look forward to welcoming you to our village soon.
