Ryan Ching
Audio-visual technician
In 2010, Ryan decided to leave a career in Civil Engineering to return to education to pursue God with all of his heart, soul, mind, and strength. There, not only did he see God make sense of the senselessness and broken world before him, but he began to realize God's work in developing his own voice through teaching and expressions in film, media, and story. In addition to being the A/V Technician for Trinity, Ryan is the Student Life Media Coach, Library Tech, and sometimes adjunct faculty at Pacific Rim Christian University in Honolulu. He also freelances on video and graphic design projects and consults on live streaming solutions.
