About Me

Houston was an amazing place to grow up. The culture in Texas is second to none, a mix of cowboy and modernity. A sports fanatic as a kid, I played football, tennis, and track. The summers were hot, but much better than the frigid winters of the Northeast, allowing you to be outside year round. After high school, I went to UT Austin to study Economics and Finance. Once I graduated, I got a job in Houston and was there until I moved to LA. A few friends convinced me to move to Los Angeles, but once I got there I had to figure out what to do. With brief stints in the corporate world, I knew it wasn’t for me.

I embarked on my first business venture at the age of 25, having taught myself to code. My journey has led me to establish and guide several enterprises including: Aruna, Clover Family Office, Dapper, RyanG Live, and Tributan. These ventures span diverse industries and collectively employ a workforce of over 70 employees. I started my first few companies with no outside capital, but have invested and raised over 20 million dollars for businesses.

I’m still very active outside of work and am a avid reader, traveler, plays piano, and a blackbelt in Taekwondo.

Additionally, the skies are my canvas as I pilot a range of aircraft from the A-27 Tucano to the Gulfstream G650 and G600 (type rated). I love creating and building new projects. Many of the things I’ve done in my life is because of my relationships that have guided me through.

After not reading much since high school, outside of my university studies, I embarked on a mission to read 40 books a year. Over the last 10 years I’ve read over 400 novels, mostly non-fiction, with the list below

Martial Arts

  • Trained in Taekwondo for four years as a kid, receiving my Blackbelt. This required rigorous testing and study multiple times a week. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that focuses on both physical combat techniques and mental discipline. It is known for its emphasis on high, fast, and powerful kicks, as well as a variety of hand strikes, blocks, and other techniques. Taekwondo translates to “the way of the foot and fist”
Music
  • Piano and Guitar – Played guitar for three years as a kid where I learned to read sheet music, and recently learned how to play Piano
  • RyanG Live – is a first of its kind 90 minute musical comedy where we mix stand up comedy, and crowd work, with musical performances where Ryan shows off his amazing voice
Philantropist

I’ve given over 300k to the charities below to promote global well being and spur innovation. I also give blood at American Red Cross, power red donation every 112 days, to save lives for those in need. To date I have given 30 blood donations, saving more than 90 lives in the process

Pilot

  • Pilot with Gulfstream G600 and G650 Type Ratings. Military Jet flying T38 and A27 pilot (non-typed).
  • Seaplane, Tailwheel endorsements
Travel

  • 86 countries, including every continent except Antarctica. I never left the United States until I was 23 years old! I’ve summitted multiple mountains, scuba dived all over the world, and really explored in my 20’s and early 30’s. I’ve done group trips with over 1500 friends, sometimes up to 50 people on a trip. Unreal experiences
