Ryan Chatterson studied molecular and microbiology at the University of Central Florida and has been growing with aquaponics for 20 years. He spent ten years working at Aquatic Eco-Systems (now Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems), where he assisted in thousands of aquaponic projects ranging from backyard systems to large commercial design.
While there, he also managed Green Sky Growers' rooftop aquaponics greenhouse, built and managed two large outdoor demonstration systems. He helped to design the company workshop curriculum in which he taught over 150 students alongside Dr. James Rakocy, Dr. Wilson Lennard and a few other team members.
In early 2013, Ryan left the company to run his commercial aquaponics farm, Chatterson Farms. In 2014, he started Aquaponic Engineering and Design, providing design, engineering, and educational services to the commercial aquaponic industry.
Ryan is a member of the Aquaculture Engineering Society and a two-time speaker for the Aquaculture Engineering Society and at the International Recirculating Aquaculture conference. He has spoken for the last five years at the Aquaponic Associations annual conferences and was opening plenary speaker in 2014.
Ryan has also offered onsite training and taught a sold out short course for the Ohio State University at their aquaculture boot camp where he received rave reviews. His students have gone back to utilize the technology from Alaska to France, Norway to Australia and all across the USA.
