Ryan's passion for fly fishing, adventure and conservation have taken him to the far corners of the globe. With a resume as diverse as his travels, Ryan’s work experience ranges from IBM and Microsoft to working at a winery in Tasmania, building a web development business, working as a deckhand on marlin hunting charter boats in New Zealand and Australia's Great Barrier Reef, assisting in tiger research in Nepal, freelance writing and photography, and guiding white-water rafting and fly fishing trips. Ryan was one of the founders of the Angling Exploration Group, an adventure media company that revolutionized the way the world sees fly-fishing through high-energy adventure films while providing a unique behind the scenes look into the trout-bum lifestyle. As the managing partner during AEG's formative years, Ryan helped shoot, edit, produce and distribute the Trout Bum Diaries I: Patagonia, an epic five month fly fishing expedition across Patagonia, and Trout Bum Diaries II: Kiwi Camo, a four month exploration of New Zealand's back-country in search of the world's largest brown trout.
Ryan’s wanderlust and exploratory spirit have dragged him on expeditions to remote reaches of most of the world's continents. Ryan arranges custom fly fishing adventures for select clients to some of the world's premier fly fishing destinations, works at a helicopter fishing lodge in Alaska during the summer as an adventure fly fishing guide, and guides on the tributaries of the Great Lakes for migratory steelhead and brown trout in the fall. During the winter he can be found chasing winter steelhead in the Pacific Northwest, hiking remote New Zealand rivers, or exploring unnamed spring creeks in Patagonia!
