Jennifer Wyatt  (Senior Account Executive, Mid Atlantic)
 

Jennifer comes to the Tyler Ryan Group with an abundance of entrepreneurial experience.  At 19, she and her husband started their first company.  After selling the company 6 years later, she found herself overseeing operations of an international franchise with 175 U.S. locations.  The entrepreneurial itch came back, and she scratched it by starting a modern salon for men in Virgina and Florida.  Her understanding of grass roots marketing, and knowledge of how to work with companies with a limited budget to large franchises will help TRG clients achieve their growth goals and potential.  She was going to tattoo "From concept to concrete, I bring energy and execution to your enterprise," but the tattoo artist couldn't spell execution correctly.  She has been involved in promotional events, a calender model, and other media outlets.  She is a certified personal trainer, and loves spending time with her family.  That and trying to find a tattoo artist that will put the TRG bear on her arm.

Bill Grant (Creative Director, video / photography)
 

Bill considers himself an HD pioneer, and when we saw his work, we agreed.  In fact, Ryan wants to find a crown that says just that.  He has extensive experience working with auto dealerships throughout the southeast, and had worked on several national campaigns for companies such as Wal-Greens and ESPN HD.  Bill has an extensive creative background, and never goes anywhere without his portable green screen and light kit.  This isn't a big deal, except it's kind of strange when you see the baby seats on the roof because his gear is in the back seat. He is also an educator at Midlands Technical College in Columbia, SC, and member of the Professional Photographers of America.

Tony Snell (IT Director)
 

Tony came to the Tyler Ryan Group from the west coast, where he started and successfully ran a web development company before moving to Columbia in late 2009.  He is a proud former member of the US Navy, and can, from time to time, be seen wearing around his uniform under his bathrobe during morning coffee with his wife.  Tony specializes in compex coding, cloud operations, and system security.

Steve Scott (Search Engine Optimization)
 

Steve is a SEO industry veteran that has a history in training dating back to 1990. He has trained and consulted with Fortune 1000 companies and has been a specialist in the search engine optimization and web site design field since 1998.  After his first encounter with a computer in the 80's Steve set out to "see it all" from the days of Lode Runner to the breakneck speed of the online economy.  In 2006, Steve became a Certified Search Engine Marketer, and hasn't looked back.  We call him Yoda in the office**, although he is a little taller, and we are confident he is the answer to your needs when it comes to being found on the Internet.

** You must, however, refrain from staring directly at his pocket protector.  He gets mad, and we don't like him when he gets mad.
