Career

Reagan began skating in 1998 at Americas Ice Garden in downtown Dallas. On August 1, 2005, he sustained a concussion in an on-ice fall and became blind in one eye for a year. He focused on swimming for the next four years but then returned to skating.

Reagan began skating with Ashley Cain in April 2009. They were coached by David Kirby (son of Michael Kirby) and Peter Cain at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Texas. Cain and Reagan finished 4th at the 2011 World Junior Championships and won the 2011 U.S. Junior *le. On February 24, 2012, they announced the end of their partnership.

Yankowskas and Reagan were *igned to the 2012 Cup of China and the 2012 NHK Trophy but withdrew from both events after Reagan sustained a rib injury in practice. They ended their partnership without having competing anywhere. On April 29, 2013, Reagan and Becky Bereswill announced they had formed a partnership. They too parted ways without appearing in a compe*ion.

In October 2013, Reagan was paired with Canadian skater Brittany Jones by Kristy Wirtz and Kris Wirtz, who coached the pair in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
