To date, my favorite guitars have always been Charvels, though they aren't that popular. I recently picked up a very rare Gibson Les Paul.
Ryan started playing the guitar seriously at the age of 13. By the age of 15 he was playing in local bands and entertaining his friends at parties. By the time he was 24, he ceased playing guitar altogether until 8 years later.
I had gotten side tracked a few times in life away from playing music. My mind is one that doesn't seem to rest very often. Because of this I have tried different forms of expression. There were years I wrote stories, always trying to write something important and eventually just laughing at myself. I have had the tendency to take myself too seriously.
Many years had passed between endevoures when Ryan realized that it was music all along that had been his first and only true creative love. With a simple plan to write and record music he returned to the (now dusty) guitars and played again. Friends and family were the ones who had helped Ryan to realize how important it is to follow our childish dreams forever.
I believe everyone has a talent of some kind within them that would bring them joy if they could discover it. Since I love playing music, recording, and producing, everyday is exciting.
Ryan has always been creative, and has worked primarily in creative fields. Ranging from simple video productions to video editing and DVD Authoring, the step over into Audio Production was a natural progression.
Now that I am established again in Music, I plan on doing a large number of albums ranging into many areas. Plus, I am actively helping others to get their own dreams started and produced to the best of my ability. There are so many talented artists just waiting for a chance to have a good demo, and to work with people who really do care about their craft as well.

Ryan was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the youngest son to a Family of 5. During his life he has lived in Minnesota, Florida, California, Washington and Ontario. As a child, he quickly found music as a way of expressing himself. Ryan had tried his hand at singing in a church kids choir as a youth. Later on he moved into minor performances with a hand-made dulcimer by Master Lauren Edlebach. After 2 years struggling with a violin, Ryan had moved on to his favorite instrument the Guitar.
It was his brother Raymond who introduced him to the Guitar through the Inspiring works of Neal Schon, the Guitarist of Journey.
I heard several songs by Journey, and that sound excited me beyond measure. The guitars, bass and drums moved me insuch a way, that I could not deny how important it was for me to pick up a Guitar, and play it from my heart.
