Ryan's directing career officially began in Middle School when, for Christmas, his Uncle gifted him his very own Lego Studios movie set. Using little Lego actors and stuntmen (including a Lego Spielberg himself) he was able to bring his imagination to life for the very first time.Now living in Los Angeles, Ryan has moved on to working with humans. He directs everything from narrative content to commercials and music videos. His work has been viewed by millions and he continues to pick up acclaim (most recently with his Doritos commercial - a finalist in the 2015 Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Contest).An active member of the LA Indie Improv scene, Ryan brings to his work a unique style of comedy that is both grounded and edgy. His experience as an editor allows him to approach each project with a clear and innovative vision. His college experience at UC Santa Barbara gave him a diverse set of social skills. And his experience with Legos taught him how tedious it can be to make a movie (and that Harry Potter and R2D2 have great on-screen chemistry). A collaborator through-and-through Ryan was born to direct.
