I’m excited to introduce Ryan Dammann, the newest member of the BadCat team. He’s from the St. Cloud area and’s a recent graduate from Saint Cloud State. I’m looking forward to watch him grow in the position as Digital Marketer and add new skillsets to BadCat every day.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up on a small farm just south of St. Cloud, attending High School in Kimball, MN.

Where did you attend school?

After High School, I went on to Saint Cloud State University in St. Cloud, MN getting my degrees in Videography and Marketing.

What are some of your past employment experiences?

I’ve worked in some retail throughout my time in college. After college, I started a new job in event marketing for the local radio station in town while also managing sales for an assisted living community in Sauk Rapids. At the same time, I’ve been doing videography freelance for the local theater in town.

What’s the passion that drives your career?

I’ve always had a passion for video, going all the way back to when I was 16 and had an internship doing video for the local newspaper. I found out it’s what I wanted to get into my 2nd year at college and got into marketing my 3rd year. I get excited when implementing aspects of both videography and marketing, blending them together, and I find that there are always new ways on how they can go hand-in-hand.

Who’s your favorite BadCat?

Not only to represent BadCat but I’m a cat guy and always will be. Don’t get me wrong I love dogs as well but I’ll be honest, one of the main reasons I go back to visit my parents at the farm is to see my cat Stella. (pictured above)

What’s your favorite movie?

Now that’s a tough one. I don’t know if I could pick one movie but would rather pick a few series. I’d say classics like Indiana Jones and Star Wars top the list but also love every movie in the Marvel Universe as well.
