About Rhyan

I’m running for Cache County Executive because I believe in building a community where families, businesses, and conservativism thrive. I hold a Master of Science degree in Genetics and Biotechnology from Brigham Young University and work as a biotechnology product developer and stay-at-home dad. I bring a problem-solving mindset and creativity to everything I do. My family and I moved to Cache County in 2022 to get back to our roots and because we knew it was the best place to raise our four children. We’ve quickly come to love this community. I serve as a leader in my local church ward, and when I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family—whether at home or in the outdoors, enjoying the beauty of Cache Valley together.

"Together, we can build a Cache County where families feel safe, businesses thrive, and our way of life is protected for generations to come. Let’s make Cache County a place where we all love to Live, Work, and Play."

Live

Cache County is our home — where families grow and thrive. I am committed to conservative policies that keep our communities safe and resilient while planning for smart growth.

• Strengthen Public Safety: Ensure law enforcement and first responders have the resources, training, and support they need to protect our communities.

• Improve Emergency Preparedness: Develop proactive plans for natural disasters, severe weather, and other emergencies so our communities are ready to respond.

• Pragmatic Growth & Development: Promote balanced land use that respects our rural character while allowing for thoughtful, sustainable development.

• Smarter Traffic Solutions: Work with city and state partners to improve road infrastructure, reduce congestion, and expand transportation options that make sense for our communities.

Work

Cache County has the talent, innovation, and drive to be a hub for the jobs of tomorrow. As County Executive, I will champion policies that grow our economy while ensuring opportunities for both young professionals and seasoned workers.

• Foster Business Growth: Cut red tape, streamline processes, and create an environment where small businesses and entrepreneurs can thrive.

• Attract Emerging Industries: Position Cache County as a premier destination for tech, biotech, and agricultural innovation — leveraging our strengths in education and research.

• Support Our Workforce: Partner with Utah State University, technical colleges, and local employers to connect recent graduates and experienced professionals with well-paying jobs here at home.

Play

Cache County is more than a place to live and work — it’s a place to enjoy. We must protect our natural beauty while creating opportunities that enrich our residents’ lives and strengthen our local economy.

• Protect Open Space & Natural Resources: Safeguard the landscapes, farmlands, and outdoor spaces that make Cache County unique for future generations.

• Boost Local Tourism: Expand opportunities in recreation, culture, and hospitality to make Cache County a destination in its own right.
