Crean Lutheran High School is proud to announce that Ryan Curammeng has been named the new coach for the girls and boys varsity golf teams and has joined the faculty team full-time to teach Advanced Placement U.S. History and Honors U.S. History.
“The Lord opened the door and it was a good fit for both of us.” said Curammeng, who has taught and coached at Capistrano Valley Christian the past 23 years.
Crean Lutheran Athletic Director Eric Olson says, “Coach Curammeng is a strong Christian role model with a tremendous passion for mentoring and teaching his players. He looks forward to the opportunity to facilitate organized, competitive, vision-driven, and spiritually-based golf programs that will glorify God daily and serve his student-athletes and their families. Coach Curammeng is a golf enthusiast and also strives to master the game, his expertise will be a blessing to the program and our players.”
Coach Curammeng coached baseball, cross country, and served as the chaplain for the football team. For the past 17 years, he was the head golf coach at Capistrano Valley Christian and was named the league’s golf coach of the year in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Coach Curammeng wants his players to focus and learn from the Bible verse “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31. Curammeng’s previous teams won the league’s sportsmanship award five times. “One of the goals I have has always been to win the sportsmanship award,” he said. “That’s one of the most important things to build up the program as far as community involvement and excitement.”
Curammeng received his bachelor of arts degree from Cal Baptist University and his teaching credential from Concordia University, Irvine. He plans to apply his devotion to Jesus Christ in the classroom as well. “I’m a firm believer that Christ is in history and there are a lot of principles,” he said. “It is important to use the gifts that God has given us to glorify Him. I believe work is an act of worship, whether we are doing golf or history or math or digging a ditch, we’re doing it to his glory and to please Him and he promises to bless us.”
Curammeng has been a leader for the Mission Viejo/Dana Point Coaches of Influence fellowship and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

2019-2020 Season Wrap Up
Crean Lutheran boys golf team showed promise in shortened season
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
Crean Lutheran’s boys golf team was off to a 2-0 start when athletics throughout Orange County were cancelled, but Coach Aaron Puls said the team was blessed with some memorable experiences.
“Although our season came to an unfortunate and abrupt halt, we are confident that our 2020 Saints’ men’s golf team was outstanding,” Coach Puls said. “We were blessed with many young and talented athletes.”
Puls said he and the players have fond memories of the late Dan Fink, the former Saints golf coach. A highlight from our season was all the memories we got to share of our dear friend and coach Dan Fink who passed away earlier this year,” he said. “This produced a unique unity and culture that we were able to develop in such a short time. We all miss Coach Fink and we loved him so much. We are encouraged by God's promises for us that Dan is in glory with his Creator right now.”
Puls said he believes that it would have been a promising season for the Saints. “We were blessed with an abundance of young talent this year on the Saints' golf team,” he said. “Even though we only played two varsity matches, I am confident that we would have had an amazingly successful season. Considering we are only graduating one senior from the team, next year looks just as good.”
Crean Lutheran had only one senior on the team, captain Thomas Yang. “Thomas is a great leader, an exceptional human being, and an excellent golfer,” Puls said. “He was surely one of our best players on the team and I believe he would have made a deep run into CIF this year. We know he has a bright future both on and off the golf course and we were all blessed to have him on the team.”
