Schuster has covered a 2 a.m. mall opening the day after Thanksgiving, dressed up as a refinery worker complete with hard hat and goggles for a refinery tour and spent a day shopping for finds at a swap meet for a story.
All in a day’s work for a business and sometimes entertainment reporter. Schuster covers the retail industry, which includes shopping and restaurants, for The Bakersfield Californian.  In addition, he has covered agriculture, oil and the economy as a business writer since 2005.  He also enjoys singing along (badly) to songs on the car radio.
Schuster previously worked as a sports writer at The Californian, starting in 1999.  His 2004 profile of Bakersfield native and NFL quarterback David Carr won first-place honors for Sports feature writing from the California Newspaper Publishers Association.
Before moving to California, Schuster worked at the Boca Raton News in Florida.  Schuster grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1998.
When not working, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, going to the beach, listening to his iPod, James Bond movies and reciting stupid movie lines.
