Ryan Staub has had a passion for cars, speed, and competition since he was a child. He officially became involved in motorsports in 2002 after purchasing his first BMW M3. Shortly after the purchase of that M3, he became heavily involved in SCCA Autocross and BMW Club, Porsche Club, and Audi Club high-performance driving events. Due to his dedication and focus, he progressed quickly and worked with professional coaches to further refine his driving skills. In 2005 he passed the BMW CCA, Porsche Club of America, and Audi Club Instructor Training Schools to become an approved HPDE instructor.
