Inspired by Phillip Phillips' rendition of "Home" at the Olympics, Ryan taught himself guitar, driven by the desire to evoke the same emotions in others.  Guided by mentors like his high school music teacher Gary Washburn and renowned musician Brother Noland, Ryan honed his skills and found inspiration in artists like Relient K, Billy Joel, and John Mayer.
