Employee Image

Ryan was one of the founding members at CREATE and a former Chief Engineer. He has graduated from UGA with his Mechanical Engineering Bachelors in 2025 and currently works at Textron Specialized Vehicles! We miss him here as he was a great leader but know he will go on to do powerful things in his industry.

Using his interest in 3D printing technology to advance additive manufacturing capabilities, Ryan spent the first couple years focusing intensely on building, repairing, and maintaining 3D printers while working on various CREATE labs projects. He also interned at Cooper Lighting Solutions as a 3D Printing Mechanical Engineering Intern and Olympic Steel as an Operations Intern. Previously, with a team of 9 engineers, he had the oversight on every assignment. Team members have described him as dedicated, supportive, and kind.
