Ryan is a drummer with many years of formal percussion training, and originally hails from Pennsylvania.
Ryan has always wanted to be a drummer - starting with concert percussion at age 10, and later moving on to drums at the age of 15.
Ryan cites his biggest inspirations as Mike Portnoy, Josh Eppard, and The Rev, among others.
Ryan is an accomplished drummer, with a history of formidable training and experience in honing his craft. He has previously taught percussion, and was formally with the Progressive Metal band Crusade before joining Valkyrie's Fire in September 2022.
Ryan found his love for the style of Symphonic Metal many years ago, and since joining the band, Ryan has now created the explosive and dynamic signature back-beat which is so prevalent in our music.
Ryan also provides back-up vocals in the band.
