Ryan Sparks

Ryan Sparks is the general manager and co-beverage director at Father Forgive Me, the wine and cocktail bar at The Shepherd in Detroit’s East Village. Coverage of the bar’s opening described him as formerly with Supergeil and Two James, and later reporting in 2026 still identified him in the same Father Forgive Me leadership role. A separate profile noted his work on the bar’s zero-proof program and said he was nearly three years sober at the time of publication.
