Ryan has multiple businesses from property developing to CEO of ALTA (his own board short brand) and RT Coaching, an online coaching and app service.

Ryan started his working career as a plumber and gas engineer from Worksop, Nottinghamshire. He had always had a keen interest in bodybuilding and dedicated every spare minute he had to training before and after his working day. In 2010 Ryan entered in to Mr Great Britain, where he took first place and then went on to win Mister International. Shortly after, Ryan gained sponsorship with a world-renowned supplement company. This is where things really started to change for Ryan. He soon made the brave decision to make a change in his career, devoting his work to his sponsors and promotions in fitness. This enabled him to fully focus all of his energy into his true love- bodybuilding. Ryan quietly decided to compete in his first Men’s Physique show in 2013, the UK Nationals, where he took first place and his journey in competing was then born!
