Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Ryan started singing the moment he entered the world. Performing on stage since preschool, he played every sport under the sun and started taking voice lessons in the 4th grade, where he was hooked ever since. Upon entering high school, his next 4 years were spent playing varsity soccer, performing in the selective Florida All-State Choir, and staring in several high-school musical productions. He graduated from The University of Alabama-Birmingham with his BFA in Musical Theatre in 2023.

 

He has had the pleasure of learning Estill from Valerie Accetta and is working towards his Estill certification. During his time at UAB, Ryan not only performed in several musicals (see resume for more), he also assistant musical directed multiple shows. This is where he realized he loved being behind the table and teaching just as much as performing. 

​

After graduation, Ryan toured the PNW in a little red truck with Missoula Children's Theatre, where he brought the art of live theatre to children across the country. After his first leg of tour, he then traveled throughout the Midwest and Northeast as Tour Actor Director, and continues to train new TAD teams to ensure their success in educating the youth of America. 

​

In both falls of 2024 & 2025, Ryan performed singer contracts at Cedar Point as Uncle Buzz in "Wake the Dead", and male vocalist in "Fangs After Dusk." 

​

During rehearsals for MSC's World Europa where he was cast as lead male vocalist, Ryan was diagnosed with Late Onset T1D, and was removed from contract. Upon moving home and learning to manage life as a type one diabetic, he has moved back to the city ready to continue doing what he loves. 

​

He is currently performing in Cabarets across the city, singing anything from rock n' roll to musical theatre ballads. Ryan cannot wait for the next step in his journey.
