CREATIVE BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST
I’m RYANO – a digital nomad based in Reno, Nevada. I have a masters in behavioral science, with an emphasis in perspective taking, allowing me to combine the best-practices of psychology with creating emotion-driven and effective content. I currently specialize in providing complete top-to-bottom videography services for mental and behavioral health organizations, organizations leveraging science and technology, or outdoor brands. I balance my client projects alongside my dissemintation efforts describe below. When I'm not hosting, capturing, or speaking at behavioral science events, you can find me outdoors and soaking up time with loved ones. (Resume & CV)

The Daily BA
In 2018 I committed to a daily M-F upload related to behavioral science. After 400+ videos I think I know what I want to create. I like to make internet videos that make the word a better place, focusing on topics related to behavioral and mental health. All of my work is powered by a community, but with my own blood, sweat and tears. Check out the YouTube channel here.

Why We do what we do
This podcast and future YouTube channel launched in April of 2017 with the goal of creating an enjoyable listener experience about psychological concepts that anyone can easily consume. I serve as a co-host, producer and work alongside a fantastic team. You can check it out here and a support page here.

On Location
In the summer of 2019 I partnered up with Sarah Trautman to begin a new venture focusing on long-form documentaries about behavioral and mental health. The first film This Way of Thinking (2020) aired in April 2020. We also provide continuing education services to Behavior Analysts through various Seasons of content.

CHATTcon
The Convergence of Human & Animal Training and Technology Conference (CHATTcon) is an annual event that my partner TAGteach International and I co-founded in 2018. We bring together some of the most successful, insightful, inspiring, and nerdy behavioral experts in the world to converge for a few days. Learn more.
A lot of people ask me why I’m involved in so many efforts. The science of behavior has applications in almost every aspect of human life imaginable. The needs are also just as diverse, so I create partnerships and allocate my time to things that make the world a little better and people find valuable. Some of the impact of these are shared on another page.
