Ryan was a vibrant, talented, funny, and kind son, brother, uncle, and friend. His passion for acting and exceptional perseverance defined his career and lead him to many adventures and wonderful friendships. Ryan became interested in theater and the dramatic arts in the eighth grade at Edison Middle School in Green Bay. He went on to act in all of the plays at Preble High School culminating in the starring role of “Nathan Detroit” in Guys and Dolls his senior year. After graduation in 2006, he went on to study theater at the University of Kentucky, graduating in 2011 with a BA in Theater. He was accepted into the two-year program at the prestigious Stella Adler Studio in New York, which he completed in 2013. During his time in school, he acted in various roles including outdoor dramas in Ohio, North Carolina, and New York City. Over the next seven years, he split his time between New York and Los Angeles following his acting dreams and ambitions. He expanded into writing, producing, directing, and acting in short films this past year during the pandemic. Ryan especially loved his nephew and two nieces.
