eCommerceFuel is the world's #1 private, vetted community for 7-figure+ eCommerce store owners. I was a member for 5 years, and when the Community Manager position became available in 2019 I jumped at the opportunity. Luckily, Mr. Youderian thought I would be a good fit for the position and the rest is history! I can honestly say it is the best community - online or off - that I have ever been a part of. My job as Community Manager is, well, to manage the Community :) That includes everything from moderating our super-active forum and extensively vetting new applicants, to planning our local meetups and annual live event. If you are an experienced eCommerce store owner we'd love to have you join us! Just use the link below to apply.

Feb 2003 - Jan 2020
I always wanted to be my own boss, and in 2003 I finally achieved that goal. Ryan Design Studio was founded as a web design and architecture business, which is a bizarre combo for sure. But hey, I spent 5 years getting an architecture degree and another 3 years getting licensed so I didn't want to throw that away! I quickly discovered that I was enjoying web development more than architecture, and by 2005 I dropped architecture completely. Ryan Design Studio built over 500 eCommerce sites for companies in just about every industry, although we seemed to attract a ton of bath and body companies. Our speciality was building sites that had a combo of B2B and B2C and required extensive modifications to the core platform. We used X-Cart, BigCommerce and finally Pinnacle Cart as our platforms of choice. Currently, we maintain sites for a small number of long-time clients and are not taking on any new projects.

Feb 2001 - Feb 2003
This was officially my only career misstep. I left Centerbrook Architects after being offered a role at a new division of a large, Washington, DC-based company with the promise of a future ownership stake. Sadly, that promise was an outright lie. Hey, we all make mistakes and this really drove home the 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' mantra. On the plus side, it did light a fire under me to start my own business and that got me out of there in just about 2 years. I have no work to share from that period, as it was all meaningless interior design crap for corporate law offices that no one in their right mind would be proud of. Show less

Sep 1995 - Feb 2001
I couldn't have asked for a better job right out of college, and luckily this was the ONLY company that offered me a job! I was able to learn the business of Architecture from some of the top names in the industry, and I was lucky enough to work on and manage some fantastic projects. Among the ones I'm most proud of are: - Multiple projects at Quinnipiac University including a new library, multiple dorms, their new law school, and various building renovations throughout the campus. - A large addition and renovation to the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida - A super-cool railroad bridge in Worcester, Massachusetts built completely out of stainless steel. - An new campus for the University of Colorado in Denver I also built their first website way back in 1995! The work was not only fulfilling, but the people and culture of the company at the time was amazing. The company was famous for throwing huge, extravagant parties and giving out rather large bonuses. Ah, the 90s were a good time to be an Architect! We played hard with yearly group fishing trips, intense ping pong tournaments, lunchtime ultimate frisbee matches, and plenty of Friday night happy hours at the Black Seal and Griswold Inn in Essex, CT.
