Lead guitar, Back-up vocals

Ryan is the owner of a computer repair franchise (Computer Troubleshooters) by day, family man by night and musician on the weekends. His interest in music started when he was 15. He grew up around music with his father being a professional musician and both brothers playing guitar. At age 15 he started out with some country, the Eagles, and Pink Floyd. It didn’t take long for him to get hooked and want to get the brothers and a cousin together to form a band. He even went as far as to sacrifice his bedroom for the jam room. After moving to Milwaukee, Ryan met a drummer at work and started a band called Pier 69. He was with them for a few years and even met his wife Christy in the band. After several years of trying to find the right people, he was blessed with his current group Stereotype. Ryan also has a passion for playing music for his church. Music influences range across the board from David Gilmour, Richie Sambora, Santana, Niel Schon and Lynkin Brewster to name a few.
