Ryan Wecker | Founder, Director of Operations
For over 15 years, Mr. Wecker has worked with many different ASD support programs as an administrator, teacher, and academic/social coach. He has helped students receive their degrees while being an integral asset in the overall direction of the program’s development. Wecker noticed that while the academic support programs were successful, there was a greater need for social and independent living skills. In addition, a more flexible model was needed in order to match the needs of every student on the autism spectrum. As a response to this growing national need, Wecker and Huber developed and pioneered Enigma ASD Services. Wecker is currently working full time developing the program and helping neurodiverse adults reach their educational, occupational, and independent living goals. He enjoys spending his free time with his wife and two young daughters. He loves music, skiing, and working on home projects.

Christy Bateman | Program Director
Ms. Bateman has worked directly with students on the autism spectrum for over 20 years. As a previous special educator and administrator, she has focused on teaching and supporting the development of social skills and executive functioning skills for students. Her primary passion is educating not only students on the spectrum, but also the surrounding community and environment. She considers herself a "translator" between the two worlds, with the goal of acceptance from everyone. In her free time, she loves to kayak with her teenagers and spend as much time as she can near water.
