"What can I say, Ryan is truly one of a kind! He is one of the most talented, diverse, and empathetic individuals I have come across in my career. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with not only Ryan's legal prowess, but his ability to lead the charge on all kinds of business strategy. Yes, he's worked with us on the legal side of things, but from business plans, to pitch strategy, and even certain aspects of design, there's very little Ryan cannot do. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have the opportunity work with Ryan and I look forward to continuing to do business with him."
