So the elevator speech, It all started for Ryan when he was in high school. Reluctantly assigned to be “Advertising Editor” for the high school yearbook, Ryan quickly began to see that this was something he could see himself studying and eventually doing for a living. From there it has been an exciting journey for Ryan. Working with clients in the non-profit, commercial, and government sector, Ryan has experience with delivering results to a variety of industries.

When not working as a Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ryan performs work for his business startup, Lion’s Roar Marketing. His business startup came from his passion for communications and a strong desire to take on the challenge of being an entrepreneur.

Ryan obtained his B.S. in Marketing from George Mason University in 2009 and M.A. in Strategic Communications with a concentration in Digital Communications from Johns Hopkins University in 2017. Ryan currently resides in Arlington.
