Ryan Inman has been involved in music and live production since his high school days as a musician in a band. Between gigs, Ryan would pack up the band's PA system in the back of his van and travel around Dayton, helping churches, and schools run sound at their events. Soon, Ryan had built a reputation in the live sound community and became a sought-after expert, quickly graduating from small local events to running stages at large music festivals. And with that, Ambient Productions was born.

What amazed his clients was how much better their events sounded when compared to their day-to-day services and assemblies. Soon, Ryan was being asked to come in and train his clients' in-house engineers to make their bands, choirs, and presenters sound as good as they did at their live events.

As Ryan's clients completed their training programs, many discovered that their problems weren’t just training-related. Poor quality equipment that was incorrectly installed was half of the problems they faced. After hearing how good their services could sound, there was no going back. They asked Ryan what they should do, what he would do, given their situation. Ryan set to work, starting to design custom audio and video systems perfectly tailored to each of his clients' facilities. Soon enough, he found himself supervising the installation of Million-dollar Audio video and lighting systems for some of the biggest venues in the area. Ten years later, with hundreds of designs, installations, and productions under their belt, Ambient Productions has become the Midwest's industry leader in Audio video and lighting design, event production, and sales and service of high-quality AVL (audio video lighting) equipment.
