Early life and education

Ryan spent his childhood in Georgia with his family, which he rarely talks about. He has been playing games since a very early age, and had fallen in love with gaming as soon as he tried it for the first time. He was working as a model during the years which he spent at high school, and his hair was longer and he was skinnier during that period. After he matriculated, Ryan enrolled at Georgia Southern University, then switched to Georgia Tech University from which he received his Bachelor’s degree – he continued his education in England and apparently graduated with a degree in Computer Science, Web Design and Computer Animation.

Career

Ryan first worked a job of a pool cleaner to make enough money to support himself – while he was checking the Craigslist for another job, he saw an opening with Rooster Teeth, and decided to give it a shot. He won the job, moved to Austin in Texas, and has been part of the team ever since, eventually gaining recognition in February 2014 when he also got the nickname “Mad King”.

He worked in the most popular sector of Rooster Teeth, which is the Achievement Hunter – each game has its own achievements which you get if you do what is required of you for that particular task. Most people can’t finish all the achievements on their own as these can sometimes be very hard, so Achievement Hunters make guide videos about finishing a particular achievement. Ryan was also in charge of maintaining Rooster Teeth’s website, and their “Game Fails” channel on YouTube – he later became the technical director and animator of their “Red vs. Blue” season 10 web series, which at that point was already very popular.

Ryan has appeared in many of Rooster Teeth’s live action productions, including “Immersion”, “Million Dollars, But..”, “Ten and Eleven Little Roosters”, and several others. He’s voiced numerous characters in their animated short videos, including his own character in the “X-Ray and Vav” web series, and John Elizabeth Andersmith in “Red vs. Blue”.

In 2011, Ryan became an editor, crew member and a co-host of Achievement Hunter – he became the main host in 2012 and joined the main crew of Rooster Teeth. He has a personal Twitch account called “SortaMaliciousGaming” on which he has gathered over 1.7 million views on the 15 videos which he’s uploaded. He has a YouTube account as well, which he launched on 3 May 2016 and has gathered around 45,000 subscribers and nearly three million views.

What is Rooster Teeth?

Rooster Teeth Productions LLC is an entertainment company focused on playing video games, uploading those videos onto YouTube, and producing their own web series – its headquarters are located in Austin, Texas and it’s owned by Ellation which is a division of Otter Media, part of Warner Media working under Warner Bros.

Rooster Teeth was created in 2003 by Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Jason Saldana, Geoff Ramsey, Gus Sorola, and Joel Heyman – their first web series was entitled “Red vs. Blue” which debuted in April 2003, and is still airing, making it the longest web series to ever run on the internet. The team saw an opportunity in the popularity of the show, and created a “sponsorships” option – if you pay a monthly subscription, you are able to gain early access to their content, as well as discounts on their merchandise which they sell online.

After the success of the “Red vs. Blue”, they began making short movies, series, “Let’s Play” videos, and animated productions such as “X-Ray and Vav” which Ray is part of – they also made a full-length science fiction comedy movie entitled “Lazer Team”, which received positive critiques.

Rooster Teeth’s YouTube channel currently has over 9.6 million subscribers, while they have a total of over 45 million subscribers on all of their channels combined.

Personal life and marriage

Ryan doesn’t often talk about his personal life, but he doesn’t mind sharing some details with his fans now and then – he married his other half Dr. Laurie Higginbotham in 2007 and the two have two kids together named Eli who was born in 2011, and Olivia who was born in October 2013. Laurie is a veterinarian and she and Ryan have several dogs and cats who live with them.
