Ryan participated in the March 2011 MediaStorm Advanced Multimedia Workshop. He had the following to say about his experience:

I went into the workshop looking to refine my production process and improve reporting skills. What I took away was a productive week of collaboration with a talented group, experience from hands-on practice, and most importantly, confidence to experiment with and build off of a solid production foundation. I'm really excited to start my next project and apply what I've learned!
