I've known Ryan for nearly 30 years, first working with him at an international trade association where his combination of technical and communications skills made him invaluable - and he always far exceeded our tough-to-please members' expectations. Since then, he has led my communications and event program coverage across a variety of projects and for a broad mix of mutual clients. His deep understanding and experience across the Pacific Region and Hawaii's technology and startup sectors, coupled with a stellar reputation and solid credibility as an independent journalist and as a PR professional, make him a must-have partner for meaningful, community-focused initiatives. Within Hawaii's innovation ecosystem, his knowledge and network is second to none. From helping to establish a new or refreshed brand to securing earned media for an important cause, he delivers out outcomes and metrics of success. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a key partner for your business or project. read more
