With the constant ebb and flow of projects and requirements, I’ve learned more on the job than I ever expected and now consider myself a polymath. I have a wide-ranging background that includes both internal and external communication management. This broad-based experience enables me to know both how to get a project from concept to completion, but also how long it should take someone else to do as well.
At the end of the day, I am the person that is able to finalize a project and complete it to the highest standard, on time, and often under budget.
Ryan P. Kline also serves as an Expert Witness, assisting counsel in all aspects of cheerleading and consults on issues of safety, rules and regulations, competitions, and accident/injury analysis and re-creation. As an Expert Witness, Ryan brings 10+ years of experience in cheerleading with expertise in coaching, instruction, safety, and standards of care.
Ryan has gained his expertise by coaching at both the High School and Collegiate level of the sport of cheerleading. Safety is one of Ryan’s most important values. He practices that on a daily basis by ensuring the safety of his cheerleading athletes at practices and events, and also enforces both local and national rules and guidelines.
