You bring the vision. We bring the bench.

For over 30 years, Ryan has built and run businesses at the intersection of corporate communication, talent acquisition and marketing communications. That work has earned him five ASA Voice Awards for overall excellence in corporate communication.

His focus is people: how humans think, decide and connect with the brands around them. For more than 15 years he has worked deep in neuromarketing, learning how the brain responds to messaging and why some brand stories resonate while others fall flat. That shapes everything he brings, from sharpening a company's voice to attracting the right talent to building a marketing strategy that lands.

Away from work, Ryan is a musician, an outdoorsman and the owner of a small Texas ranch. The best communication, like the best music, comes down to authenticity and knowing your audience.

Danielle builds engagement systems that hold up under pressure, a discipline she learned during ten years of active duty in the United States Air Force. There she established Global Patient Evacuation training and technology infrastructure, coordinating people, federal agencies and resources under real deadlines to save lives, and pioneered computer and video based instruction to train federal personnel remotely. That conviction, that the right technology makes expertise scale, is the foundation of Bench Engage.

After earning her B.S. in Worksite Health and Wellness, she served as Wellness Coordinator at Southwest Airlines and then American Airlines. At GM Financial she led well-being, recognition and engagement across North and Latin America, turning program data into results leadership can measure. She is a Certified Wellness Practitioner (NWI), a certified Mental Health First Aider and holds a Data Analytics certification.

Today she helps clients strengthen both their engagement technology and the people it serves: assessing platforms, guiding AI implementation, lifting participation and managing the vendor relationships that make or break a program.

Outside the office, Danielle hunts upland birds and waterfowl with her bird dogs, Sarge and Briggs, shows quarter horses at NRHA events and travels with her husband and two teenage daughters. She serves on the board of YMCA Camp Carter in Fort Worth, is active in DFWBGH and SMPS, and supports military veteran non-profits.
