Ryan Gunn’s Experience

Search Consultant

Gunn & Associates

(Staffing and Recruiting industry)

June 2008 — Present (1 year 6 months)

Joined my father's company as an interactive recruiter. Gunn & Associates specializes in recruiting, retention, outsourcing and technological innovation. We help companies acquire and retain elite talent.
Search Consultant

Management Recruiters of North Palm Beach

(Staffing and Recruiting industry)

March 2008 — June 2008 (4 months)

Finally listened to my father's and sister's advice and began recruiting. Worked for a great group of people recruiting in the advertising agency business.
General Manager

Regus

(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; RGU; Real Estate industry)

March 2007 — October 2007 (8 months)

After realizing I wasn't going to be Bob Costas, I gave sales a shot. Somehow got the General Manager position selling upscale, overpriced, executive suites in Tysons Corner (Northern Virginia). In 6 months led occupancy turnaround from 60% to 91%. Enjoyed the success, but not the job. Moved one more time to live near family, beach and warm weather.
Sports Anchor / Reporter

WBTW - Media General

(Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; MEG; Newspapers industry)

March 2005 — February 2007 (2 years )

Spent two years as a weekend sports anchor and weekday reporter at dominate #1 station in Florence/Myrtle Beach, SC. Covered the Carolina Panthers, South Carolina, Clemson & NASCAR in addition to the traditional small market stuff. Worked a ton of hours and made between $29-$31k (see how glamorous TV is!).
Sports Director

KNBN

(Broadcast Media industry)

August 2002 — February 2005 (2 years 7 months)

My first on-air sports broadcasting position. Spent 2 & 1/2 years in South Dakota covering high school sports and rodeos while reeling in between $20-$25k. Beautiful place during the summer... Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands rock... but stay far away between December and March.
Research Analyst

Fox Sports Net

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Broadcast Media industry)

October 1999 — May 2002 (2 years 8 months)

My first job out of school. Spent three years working behind the scenes at the 20th Century FOX lot in LA. Back then FSN thought they could compete with ESPN. Had a bunch of great anchors (Chris Myers, Keith Olbermann, Jeannie Zelasko), but couldn't touch Bristol. Finally quit trying and penalized us with the "Best Damn Sports Show Period."
