Ryan Helvig
Ryan’s daughter Emmalyn was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in September 2023 at the age of five. A proud wearer of the Roc Solid Ready Bag, he and his family were profoundly impacted by Roc Solid and reached out to see how they could help provide the same kind of love and support to other families receiving that terrible news.
Ryan serves as Vice President of Finance at Blackwater Electric Company. Before joining Blackwater, he spent seven years as a Commercial Portfolio Manager and then as Vice President and Commercial Loan Officer at TowneBank. Ryan holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies from Old Dominion University and a Master’s in Business Administration from Liberty University.
He lives in Chesapeake, VA, with his wife, Amanda, and their two children, Hudson and Emmalyn (Emmy). Ryan values community involvement and is grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Roc Solid Board and Chesapeake’s YoungLife Committee. He also finds fulfillment as an active member of River Oak Church, where he enjoys participating in various groups and serving on Sundays.
