Before his involvement with the marching arts, Ryan grew up doing all-star cheerleading up until high school. He began his marching career during his sophomore year playing bass drum, but soon switched to snare. He has marched with Nomad Indoor (2021-2023), Rogues Hollow Regiment (2023), and Cap City World (2024-2025). 

Outside of drumming, Ryan is currently finishing up his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering at Penn State University.
