Ryan Washington Bio Picture

Ryan Washington

Founder & President

Mr. Washington currently serves as President of AR Forensics and oversees all investigations and casework.

Leaving the plants of Ohio, he enlisted in the Marine Corps where he spent 5 years working in Special Intelligence. After his military service he worked as a security consultant on larger UNIX machines at many notable companies during the "dot.com" boom.

Following 9/11, Mr. Washington was hired as a contractor at the FBI and began working primarily on the rapidly emerging field of hard drive forensics. Over the course of the next decade, Mr. Washington had the opportunity to work on several high priority and highly publicized cases: including computer intrusion, murder, and counter-terrorism. Working this broad and varied base of cases gave him an unparalleled education in adapting to the challenges that may arise during a case.

Mr. Washington holds a Bachelors Degree in Management from National-Louis University and a Master of Business Administration from Indiana University.
