In 2005 he founded Southside Promotions, which quickly became one of Australia’s premier action and motor sports athlete and event management agencies; in the process producing a feature length documentary with star freestyle motocross athlete Cam Sinclair. With the quick expansion of business, services and staff, Adam met Ryan through brokering a major V8 Supercar partnership between Rockstar Energy and the Holden Racing Team in 2010 and the two partnered soon after to create AME Management in 2012.”

Ryan completed a double degree in Sports Administration and Business Management at Victoria University. Ryan spent close to five years at one of Australia’s premier sporting Championships – V8 Supercars Australia (V8SA).
