Ryan is CEO of UberCab, Inc. UberCab is innovating in the areas of location based mobile technology and old school car service transportation. The UberCab experience captures the elite limo experience and transforms it into an on demand service that fits an efficiency focused, modern lifestyle.

Basically, on this blog I’ll talk most about startup stuff, entrepreneurship, and my lifes adventures in photos or long form writing. Please comment, the conversations are why I do it.

Around The Web

I use Twitter for thoughts that are too small for a blog post and regularly post to RyanGraves.org for things that will make you laugh, sing, or think. I read like crazy and share that list here.

Around The World

I’m a passionate traveler. I’ve safaried and volunteered in the deserts of Kenya, climbed the pyramids of Egypt (until I got kicked off w/ an over zealous AK-47), followed my parents around London, road tripped the coasts of Ireland (2 times, *favorite country), and corporate trained throughout China & Sweden. A significant portion of my personal savings goes into a category titled, Next Trip, and I’ll continue that pattern until I’ve seen enough. That will never happen, God willing.

Offline

I’m from San Diego, CA where I will eventually return. I currently live in Chicago, IL with my wife, although I spend a lot of time in San Francisco & New York for work. You can also view my resume here.
