Ryan was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and grew up in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland (just south of Washington, D.C.) right on the Chesapeake Bay.  He graduated from Northern High School and also earned a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and Computer Imagery from Shepherd University.  Ryan started working for New Motors in March of 2017 after relocating with his wife and their two "fur babies, Oscar (dog) and Chauncey (cat)."  Ryan believes that automobiles are an extension of someone's personality and are more than just a means of transportation.  In college, his senior project focused on that relationship photographing people and their modes of transportation together.  After graduating from college, he married his high school sweetheart and has moved from one end of the country to the other.  Before working at New Motors, he was the Photography Editor for a transmission parts company.  Ryan's loyalty to the Subaru brand lead him to eventually sell them!   He looks forward to meeting you!
