Ryan Miziker, Director of Development
Ryan began as Creative Coordinator when he joined Miziker Entertainment Group in 2000. He was tasked with the management of all aspects of Creative Direction that went in to the shows and attractions, from research to scriptwriting, music direction and recording, staging, costume design and working with Bobby to bring a project to life, on time and on budget. He began to tackle more of the Creative Direction, and was soon responsible for all scripts, storyboards, and directing recording sessions to create music soundtracks. Ryan graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in Geography. He began creating a series of maps for a travel publisher in San Francisco. He then managed a team of interior designers for an architectural firm in San Francisco, before joining his brother when Miziker Entertainment Group was formed.
The first project for the company that demanded his creative and organizational skills was The American Spirit, for the Ramada Express Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. Ryan pitched the concept to the client, wrote the script, selected the music, coordinated the Art Director, Music Director, recording session, Lighting Designer and show programmers. He then turned his attention to a new show for the San Diego Zoo, and most recently acted as Creative Director for The Power of NightFire, the nightly spectacular for the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians. Between productions he has led creative teams in developing projects for parks and attractions around the world.
