Career and Professional Work Experience 

Ryan Binkley worked for Procter & Gamble in Dallas from 1990 to 1993. He then moved on to work for Boston Scientific Corporation in the greater Atlanta area as a Manager from 1993 to 1996. 

From 1996 to 2001, Ryan Binkley served as a Young Adult pastor at Victory World Outreach Church in Denton, Texas.

Binkley stated that when his brother was killed by a drunk driver in 2001, God called him to go back and help his family in business.

The experience compelled him to return to Texas and re-enter the corporate world in order to support his family. 

Binkley then established Generational Group, a mergers and acquisitions advising firm. Prior to starting the Generational Equity Group, in 2006, he also worked in the field of technology consulting. 

He also continued his spiritual enrichment mission. Binkley and his wife, Ellie Binkley, created Create Church in Richardson, Texas, juggling his company and the ministry.

The company currently has 15 regional offices, including ones in New York, Chicago, and Irvine, California, and its headquarters are in Dallas, Texas.

2024 presidential campaign

Ryan Binkley registered to run for president of the United States in 2024 on April 1, 2023, with the FEC. Later that month, he declared his candidacy. 

According to Binkley, God called him to run for president. He claimed that roughly seven years ago, he received a message warning him that the country was in jeopardy. 

With “solutions for the country” as the cornerstone of his campaign, Binkley has criticized both Republicans and Democrats for being unduly politicized. 

Balancing the federal budget, reducing health care costs, working across party lines to change immigration law, and “revitalizing education” to promote community involvement are his four main policy pillars. 

For the Republican Party, Binkley has positioned himself as a “uniter” who can mend the gap between Trump supporters and opponents.

On July 28, he gave a speech at the Republican Party of Iowa’s Lincoln Dinner, a crucial forum for state candidates.

Binkley has been mostly self-funding his campaign, but he has also put out a call for donations to assist him in meeting the minimum number of donors necessary to take part in the RNC-sanctioned debates in 2024. 

He has already put $1.7 million of his own money into his campaign even without registering in the polls which included his name.

Out of the four required polls, only one was available for Binkley. In the end, he was disqualified from the opening discussion.
