Ryan is perfect for media relations. He constantly establishes and nurtures relationships – with reporters, with colleagues, with leadership. He is smart and preps spokespeople for all the right questions. He brings new perspectives and identifies hooks that capture the story in compelling ways. His instincts are right on the mark.

Ryan was my supervisor and work partner for nearly nine years at Fairview. I learned so much in our time together. He possesses so many of the qualities we all wish we had more of: intelligence, patience, diplomacy, kindness, responsiveness. He is also hilarious, when the opportunity presents itself. People seek out Ryan because he’s good to work with.

Ryan is a media relations guru. His experience as a reporter gives him insight into the questions that a reporter may ask about a story. He is a fabulous media coach to senior leadership throughout the organization. Ryan has built solid relationships with reporters throughout the nation, and it shows in the great stories that Fairview has received in the press. He is a dedicated employee and truly wants the best for the organization. I have had several reporters tell me that Ryan makes their job easier and that they wish more organizations had a media relations team like ours.
