Ryan Springer
Ryan Springer
My name is Ryan Springer and I have been a drummer, guitar player, and vocalist for over a decade now. Since the start of college at IPFW I have been focused mostly on drums, concert percussion, and audio engineering. I have tracked drums and vocals on a handful of recordings, have played in various local music venues, and have also also been a drum line tech on the side. Over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to travel to New York and Europe a few times for recording and concert percussion gigs and have also started developing a love for audio gear.
The coolest thing about being in the music industry is that you will run into a plethora of brilliant and creative minds that all have a musical story to tell. I am here to help that story come to life. With my experience as a musician, passion for creativity, and attention to detail, I am confident that I can find you the right piece of gear and help you reach for the stars in the world of pro audio.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Where are you from originally?
I was born in Cleveland, OH and lived in Akron for the first six years of my life before spending 4 years in Fort Wayne, IN. In 2006 my family moved to Whittier, CA where I resided until the end of my sophomore year in high school. Since 2012, my family has been back in Fort Wayne, IN where I have graduated college and have started my career at Sweetwater.

Why did you first apply for a job at Sweetwater?
Since my time back in Fort Wayne, I have been blown away by the customer service and overall environment at Sweetwater. Since music is a huge part of who I am and I have been dreaming of a business related career, I thought Sweetwater was a great fit.
