Creative Technologist

Ryan has been designing and building websites since 1996, back when Netscape was still a thing and the internet was a place where “everybody knows your name.” Over his 24-year career, he has seen the profession shift dramatically (from “web master” to “full stack engineer”) as new technologies and languages rise and fall. Ryan’s sweet spot is building websites and web apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (particularly Vue.js), though he has dabbled in everything from Photoshop to SEO. Ryan is equally talented at development and design, making him a unique addition to the MP team. 

Ryan is a Colorado native who loves skiing, frisbee, poker, and a good book. When he isn’t wrangling his two young children, he practices his British accent and curates the Rocky Mountain west’s largest collection of dehydrated fig leaves.
