A recent graduate from Kent State University with a BFA in theatrical design and technology with a concentration in directing, Ryan found his passion in working with all ages. From community theater education programs and public schools to professional and university shows, Ryan's experience with a variety of levels and ages gives him an edge when directing. With a certification in youth protection, Ryan hopes to make a career out of providing equitable and affordable arts education to the next generation of artist.He maintains professionalism throughout the rehearsal process but is sure to not let anyone get lost in the rush of life without first finding the love of theater. He is looking to not only expand his resume, but also to create long term relationships with other theater educators and like minded people within the theater community.
