Hi! My name is Ryan. I am a Wichita, KS based sound mixer and all around film professional. With over a decade of experience I’m here to help you bring your project to life!
Growing up in a family of photographers naturally peaked my interest for this line of work. As early as grade school you could find me in the dark room helping develop photos for my grandfather's photography business. Middle school is when I discovered Channel One News. I remember seeing Lisa Ling reporting and thinking, "I want to do that!".
Well, I did it. High school and junior college were spent in broadcasting programs but what started as an interest in broadcasting turned into a passion for filmmaking. The rest is history!
Seven years in Los Angeles jumpstarted my career working primarily in documentary film production. I proudly earned the title of "Swiss Army Knife" from my colleagues because I had the knowledge to work in just about every role in the industry. Roles include producer, grip, gaffer, camera operator, AC, editor, assistant editor, visual effects editor and most importantly sound mixer. While I love every job, audio is my strongest proficiency. Bottom line, I love the film world and I'm here to stay!
While Los Angeles was an amazing place, I learned that you can do this job just about anywhere so I chose to home base closer to family and friends in Wichita, KS. But I have my passport and I'm ready to hit the road!
