About Me
Ryan has always been obsessed with all things film and is always looking for that next piece of cool gear or technology. His journey started in college where he studied Communications Broadcasting at Liberty University and graduated with his Bachelor’s in 2010. After college, he got his first production gig working for a nonprofit in Washington, DC. There he worked with and led a team of over 40 volunteers to capture live events and concerts such as Keith & Kristyn Getty & Michael W. Smith. While doing that he also traveled internationally to Nicaragua, Haiti, & Ukraine to film mini-documentaries for non-profits there. More recently, he has immersed himself in the world of aerial cinematography; picking up his first drone in 2016 and getting licensed by the FAA in 2017. Since then he’s mastered the art of getting the most cinematic look from the sky, but in the safest manner possible. In his free time, he is an avid drummer, playing gigs all around Savannah and fine-tuning his home theater to enjoy movies in the best format possible. He also enjoys his days at home with his wife, Leah, and searching out to find the World’s Best Latte.
