The Team
Caaptivating Seniors Foundation began with a group of passionate individuals who witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of cyber abuse and financial fraud on the senior population. This problem is only going to grow with time, and something needs to be done to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
With elder fraud skyrocketing by 74% from 2020, the foundation is committed to making a significant impact in reducing these distressing numbers.
With more cybersecurity and financial experts coming on board to expand the foundation's certified knowledge and sharp resources, the foundation will be at the forefront of technology and cybersecurity.

Ryan Thompkins is a seasoned technology business partner for long-term care industry players and senior nursing facilities. Throughout his career, Ryan has witnessed countless cybercrimes and financial abuse attempts against the senior demographic. The alarming vulnerability and abuse that our senior population experiences in our rapidly advancing digital world struck a chord with Ryan.
Despite supporting these facilities as a business partner, he felt powerless to provide any assistance to the seniors directly affected by these heinous crimes. This ethical dilemma weighed heavily on his conscience, and Ryan found himself constantly pondering how he could leverage his skill set and current position to help our senior community.
Ryan made the decision to form an organization that would bring together cybersecurity professionals and financial fraud analysts to combat this growing epidemic. With elder fraud skyrocketing by 74% from 2020, Ryan is convinced that the organization can make a significant impact in reducing these distressing numbers.
As the founder of Captivating Seniors, Ryan is motivated by a deep sense of purpose and responsibility to protect our elderly population from the perils of cybercrime and financial fraud. He believes that with the right resources, knowledge, and support, we can empower our seniors to safeguard themselves against these digital threats and thrive in an increasingly digitized world.
Together, Ryan invites us to rise to the challenge of protecting our seniors and ensuring that they live out their golden years with dignity.
