Biography

My name is Ryan Cole. I am an electrical engineer, a seasoned paramedic, a husband to a very supportive wife, and a father to my 5 year old son. Having a son changed my life. It made me aware of the challenges that my son will face in the future. For years I helped one person at a time while working as a paramedic, but I realized that I wanted to help more than one person. Finding electrical engineering gave me a vision to help at a larger scale. I envision a future in which technology not only assists humanity, it fosters the expanse of knowledge as it guides us to unlock secrets which we have not yet been able to explore.
