Ryan was born and raised in Oklahoma City. As a young man he traveled the world, building orphanages, writing, and shooting photographs along the way. He worked in the South's brutal oilfields, where he earned a few scars and first hand knowledge of a colorful vernacular that consists of words that shall not be repeated in this space. His scripts have earned honors in the world's top competitions including the Austin Film Festival. After graduating from Pepperdine with an MFA in screenwriting, Ryan attended Judith Weston's Acting for Directors Workshop (fellow alums include Alejandro G. Iñárritu and Andrew Stanton), further cultivating his passion for the creative process, specifically his love for collaborating with actors. With many projects in various stages of development, Ryan also writes, directs, and shoots music videos.
