Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Ryan Smith for fourteen years, and have been fortunate enough to be friends with him. On a personal level, Ryan is conscientious, reliable, motivated and innovative. He obtained his American Sailing Association certification in 1999 and continued ongoing certifications allowing him to captain a sailing vessel up to approximately 60 feet anywhere in the world. Captaining a sailboat in the 21st century requires extensive knowledge in navigation, chart plotting, navigation rules, electronics, and vessel mechanical familiarity. Just like in the age of sail, or on any commercial vessel, the captain is responsible for not only the sailing craft, but also for everyone aboard. I’ve seen him handle a crewmember’s medical emergency with professionalism, competency, responsibility, and a calmness, which kept the rest of the crew from panicking. This was a life and death situation, which ended well because of his leadership ability, his good judgment and his disciplined knowledge. This type of personality translates well into the business world. I would highly recommend Ryan in any professional landscape (or seascape)."
