ABOUT ME

A Storyteller From the Start

From a young age, my imagination was set ablaze with stories -- books & movies were my best friends. Thus, my trek into becoming a storyteller began.

I started off by acting in stage productions and studying videography during my high school years. These creative passions culminated in to my completion of a multidisciplinary study in Journalism and a BA in Screenwriting from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film/Media Arts in May of 2019. Now, 5 years later at the age of 27, I have worked as a writer, editor, designer, and creative director on a plethora of projects. 

In less than a decade of pursuing the trade? I've collaborated on 2 Netflix features, created over a dozen independent works, directed 4 live events, and garnered half a million worldwide viewers on YouTube.
​
This is only the beginning...
Ryan was one of the most active and forward-thinking students I've ever worked with. He showed initiative that is rare, and got more done than the rest of the class put together." -Frank Chindamo, CEO, Virtual Film School Inc.

PORTFOLIO

Projects

Working as both a hired professional as well as a freelance content creator, my work spans across genres & mediums -- from producing scripts, ads, short films, podcasts, and even live events. No matter the task at hand? Storytelling is at the heart of what I do. 

Videos

Kansas City Chiefs -- Super Bowl LVIII Promo (2024)
Was the editor of this promo-hype video for the Kansas City Chiefs leading into their Super Bowl LVIII victory in Las Vegas. Additionally, I completed all video scripting, music licensing and audio/clip selection, prior to the edit . This was released in the week leading up to the big game, and has since accrued over 40,000 viewers and netted a 98.2% positive rating on YouTube. 
Kansas City Chiefs -- Super Bowl LVII Promo (2023)
I worked as the lead editor and writer for this ad piece highlighting the culmination of the Kansas City Chiefs' 2023 season into Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. I collaborated with voice-actor, Rob Milton (Budweiser, FIFA World Cup, etc), to narrate the script for the video I wrote and capture the tone for the video. This video was seen/endorsed by Kansas City mayor, Quinton Lucas, and has reached over 17,000 Worldwide viewers. 
Kansas City Chiefs -- Playoffs Promo (2023)
Performed all the editing as well as took charge of clip/music selection for this ad hyping up the Kansas City Chiefs' 2023 playoff run. This was released in the week leading up to the AFC Divisional game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and has since garnered nearly 50,000 viewers and positive feedback across all media platforms. 
Kansas City Chiefs -- Super Bowl LIV Promo (2020)
Took charge of all aspects of this video: editing, clip selection, music licensing, and creative direction. This was released as a promo and mini-doc of sorts for the Kansas City Chiefs' historic 60th season leading to their first Super Bowl appearance (and victory) in over half a century. This is my most-watched promo video to-date, accruing over 117,000 viewers and exceptional ratings. 
Mystic Terror's "Roswell" Haunted Attraction -- Teaser Trailer (2022)
I served as the writer, editor, and director on this project. This functioned as a teaser trailer for the "Mystic Terror" haunted attraction in SoCal and its 2022 theme of "Roswell". This 1min.30sec teaser was filmed on zero-budget and crafted to completion in just 24-hours. 
​Delivery Fee -- Short Film (2020)
This is my first horror short film, which I directed, edited, and co-wrote during the heights of Covid. I aimed to highlight and capture the fears/paranoia of that time -- like a time-capsule piece per se. It was shot on a budget under $500, with a crew of only 7 people, and done with all safety protocols for cast/crew in place. 

​Logline: Life on the road has changed for delivery driver's across the country. But for one star employee of the Fast Lane Feasts delivery company, things are about to take a much darker turn.

Release Date: 10/10/2020
The Most Astounding Fact -- Short Documentary/Promo for Conservation.org (2017)
A nonprofit piece I filmed and edited as a promotional, document-short to bring awareness to conservation.org. It was filmed on-site at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA.
