Ryan began playing drums very early at the age of five, and eventually found himself drumming in school and church by the age of ten. During his last year as high school student, Ryan was already a full time commercial music major at South Plains College in Levelland, TX. By the time he graduated high school, Ryan had competed numerous times on the state level, performed with the premier ensembles at SPC, and had become a first call musician for many local bands.
Ryan is currently performing across the south plains with bands including Katalyst, The Funk Puppets, The Harlen Hodges Jazz Quartet, Blessia and the Indigo Serpent, Jazz & Tonic, and continues to be a first call drummer for many others. Works in progress include Katalyst's first official EP and his first album of original compositions scheduled to release winter of 2009.
Keeping an open mind keeps Ryan constantly learning and challenging himself to take that next step in his musical journey…hope you can join him for the ride!
