Ryan Waniata has been a professional writer, editor, and product reviewer since transitioning from the wild world of audio engineering in 2012. His portfolio spans the gamut, from entertainment op-eds and trends pieces to gadget how-tos and reviews of TVs, audio gear, smart home devices, and more. His work can be seen on Digital Trends, Reviewed, Review Geek, and others.
Ryan is a writer/editor, musician, composer, and gadget nut, in no particular order. He's also a seasoned video host and podcaster, co-creating the entertainment podcast Between the Streams. Since becoming a product reviewer, he’s been on a quixotic quest to find the perfect product (which he has yet to do). He feels a deep responsibility to find readers and viewers of his work the absolute best tech for their money, whatever the budget.
Ryan’s background in music and audio started at a young age. He sang in his first choir at the age of 6 and traveled to Moscow at the age of 12 on a goodwill tour between the U.S. and Russia. As an adult, he honed his music and audio skills on Music Row in Nashville. His home office doubles as an acoustically treated recording studio where he records with the group Ryan and Willie.
When he’s not writing, singing, playing guitar, or evaluating the latest gadget, Ryan can be found hiking, swimming, or simply meditating in the lush green forests of the Pacific Northwest.
