He grew up playing the piano and saxophone and received his degree in Jazz Studies with a Music Technology emphasis from Webster University in St. Louis.

Ryan says “I was excited at the opportunity to bring my skills back to a music-focused organization that combines my love of music and business experience. To be able to hear and work with the phenomenal young pianists in the APA family is a real thrill.”
