Bringing a wealth of experience, leadership, and a commitment to fostering artistic excellence, Ryan has been part of the production teams for some of the industry's most recent and iconic projects, including WandaVision, HBO’s Watchmen, John Wick: Chapter 4, The Handmaid's Tale, 1923, and Priscilla. 

Throughout his career, Ryan gained invaluable on-set experience serving as the head of production, head of operations, and managing director.

For Ryan, the best experiences have come when working with unique teams. He thrives on taking bold risks, venturing into unfamiliar territory, and providing steadfast support to those around him.

With a sharp focus on people and their growth, Ryan is eager to foster a studio that not only delivers ground breaking work but also provides a nurturing environment for talent to thrive.

“With Ryan stepping in as head, we aim to grant the Toronto studio greater autonomy, enabling it to lead its own projects while supporting our headquarters and our other studios with their global initiative,” explains Sebastien Moreau, president and founder of Rodeo FX. 

Well known in the Toronto community, Ryan has worked with several of the biggest local studios including Intelligent Creature, Monsters Aliens Robots Zombie and Maverick VFX. 

The Toronto studio, who recently finished projects for Netflix, Warner Bros. and Nissan Canada, marks the 5th international location of Rodeo FX, along with Montreal, Quebec City, Los Angeles and Paris.
