Ryan was an outstanding student at Cal Poly and has always been a pleasure to work with. He takes on new tasks with enthusiasm and determination. He has served in a leadership role both as a student here at Cal Poly and also as an employee in his current position. I have seen Ryan at industry conferences and I know he is committed to maintaining a level of expertise in a field that is rapidly changing.
