Ryan Manion Biography

Ryan Manion has dedicated her life to supporting our nation’s military, veterans, and families of fallen heroes. She is inspired by the character, leadership, and sacrifice of her brother 1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC, who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq on April 29th, 2007.

As CEO of Travis Manion Foundation (TMF), Manion leads a national movement focused on empowering veterans and families of the fallen to serve as community leaders and develop character in future generations. TMF is one of the nation’s leading Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs), inspiring over 300,000 members nationwide to adopt the “If Not Me, Then Who…” ethos.

Carrying on the legacy of her brother, Manion has been recognized with the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service. She previously served on the Advisory Committee at Arlington National Cemetery and is a board member for With Honor. In 2011, she was elected as Doylestown Township Supervisor, where she served for 12 years. In 2018, Manion was selected to participate in the inaugural class of George W. Bush Institute’s Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program, a 6-month program bringing together leaders from a wide range of sectors who are dedicated to improve post-9/11 veteran outcomes.

Bestselling author of “The Knock at the Door,” host of top 1% podcast *The Resilient Life8, and author of the children’s book, “Things My Brother Used to Say,” Manion’s personal mission is to empower others to turn loss into an inspiration to serve. A widely regarded military advocate, she is often invited to speak nationally on behalf of TMF and the military community.

She was recently appointed as ship sponsor for both the USS John Basilione, a guided missile destroyer commissioned in 2024, and the USS Travis Manion, an amphibious warship scheduled to begin her build in the coming years.

Manion resides in Doylestown, PA, with her three children: Maggie, Honor and Travis. Maggie is currently in her second year at United States Naval Academy.

Manion holds a bachelor’s degree from Cabrini College; has launched two successful businesses; and prior to TMF, worked for the government of Bucks County, PA, in the Office of Community and Business Development. After her mother, Janet, passed in 2012, she took over the helm at TMF.
