Ryan C. Javanbakht is the President & CEO of SleepTest.com. He co-founded the national home sleep testing service in 2016 after discovering his father’s life-threatening, cardiovascular condition was an avoidable one, had he only been given better access to and knowledge of sleep testing. He has since built a powerful team of motivated people whose desire is to create a faster, more effective way of testing. Ryan has spent most of his career in healthcare because he loves to be in a role where he can help people live better, healthier, and more fulfilled lives. He started this journey in dentistry and orthodontics with Invisalign, and then made his way into the vascular world with Bard Peripheral Vascular (BD); however, Ryan fully committed to the field of sleep medicine when he learned his father’s detrimental, cardiovascular condition could have been improved with a sleep test. Both of Ryan’s parents have sleep apnea and have blessed him with a very narrow airway, leading to his own sleep apnea. The son of an educator, Ryan is a forever student. He knows the value of learning and teaching. His degree in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, paired with his continued research on behavior propelled him to lecture as an expert in testing and airway education, as well as psychology and communication. He’s lectured at many state dental board meetings, the Glidewell Sleep Symposium, the North American Dental Sleep Symposium, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, California Dental Association, OSA University, the American Academy of Physiological Medicine & Dentistry, i-CAT Congress, Vatech Symposium, and several other continued education events with Tucker Educational Excellence, Kavo, Invisalign, Henry Schein, Patterson, Benco, and Burkart. Beyond his speaking engagements, his work and his philosophies have been documented in multiple publications. Ryan maintains a valuable balance between helping others and finding his own fulfillment in those he loves. While he serves as an advisor to the OCC RPSGT Committee, he's also a board member of the non-profit, Go Ministries, and is a servant leader at Harbor Point church. He's an avid reader who also values the joy of a great workout. Most important, he is a proud father raising his twins, Micah and Skyla, in Southern California. If you don’t catch him coaching Skyla’s soccer team, you’ll find him cheering on Micah’s football and baseball teams, taking both of them on Adventure Guides camping trips, snowboarding, surfing at Doho, or walking their dog, Luna, at Salt Creek Beach.
