Ryan’s journey in the arts began during a 3rd grade citywide drawing contest for the Humane Society of South Bend where he won first prize. This propelled his interest in artistic endeavors.

After getting his feet wet in the web he took his talents to TP Orthodontics where he maintained their web presence until 2006 when he moved to The Valley.
