As a digital strategist, online marketing specialist, and social/multi-channel storyteller, Ryan’s passion has been grounded in making the world a better place – from engaging low-income high school students to improve academic performance and community volunteerism with AmeriCorps, to saving over 282,000 dogs and cats through the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. For the past seven years, Ryan has headed the digital, creative, and communication work at Vice President Gore’s The Climate Reality Project and had his team’s work recognized by the Short Awards, MAXI’s and the Non-profit Technology Enterprise Network DoGooder Video Awards. In his down time, Ryan can be found hiking, kayaking, and falling on his x-country skis in the back country of Colorado and Nevada.
