Rob Ryan: founder of tech darling Ascend now grows entrepreneurs on his Montana ranch using "The Sunflower"

As a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Rob Ryan founded and built Ascend Communications Inc. into a tech darling that eventually became part of the largest technology merger ever. Then he took his wealth and created a ranch where for the past 16 years he has grown entrepreneurs.

It’s there on his Roaring Lion Ranch, "Entrepreneur America" http://entrepreneur-america.com/ in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley that he nurtures start-up entrepreneurs, one team at a time, about a dozen teams a year, on the keys to success.

He refers to the Hamilton, MT, ranch, which he and his wife, Terry, founded in1995, as "entrepreneurs boot camp."
