About Ryan
I'm a dynamic content creator with 20 years of experience in media, marketing, and film. After graduating college, I spent eight years producing local television news in Kansas, Kentucky, and California. In January 2017, my storm coverage newscast received a regional Emmy nomination.
Creativity led me to leave the news industry a few months later to focus on entertainment. I produced my short film, "Breaking News," with showings at the Canadian Film Market and Sacramento International Film Festival. I also worked as an actor, and that's what led me to China in 2018.
During my 4.5 years there, I transitioned from entertainment to marketing. I joined Anker Innovations in 2021 as a copywriter and am best known for developing the copy behind the Kickstarter campaign for AnkerMake M5. Over two months, the 3D printer earned $8.8 million and was the best-selling 3D printer ever on Kickstarter. I currently manage content for the Anker SOLIX brand.
In September 2023, I officially made the move to Bristol, and I love the creative energy in this city. Contact me any time if you need help on commercial or creative projects.
