Ryan Shankles
PrimePay Payroll Services
Payroll Consultant for San Francisco West
(Since January 2005)

I have been a resident of the Outer Sunset for 5 years and still have not got lost in the fog. Originally from sunny San Diego, many surf trips to Northern California brought me up here. I attended San Diego State University and also finished my last year in Business Management from University of Phoenix Online. In the middle of my last year I received an offer to run seminar training for Specialized Training Services (STS); they conducted Psychological Forensic Science seminars. I was hooked on the series Forensic Files; taking the job was an unbelievable experience. After 2 years and 175,000 frequent flyer miles with STS, I moved back to the Bay Area to further my love for sales & marketing.

Before graduating with a Business Management background; I was a chef and eventual General Manager for Chart House Restaurants for eleven years. I still have a passion for cooking and the restaurants. Currently; I started a hobby/business called, “The Village Kitchen”. We conduct Theme Interactive Dinner Parties at our client’s houses. It is a great way to bring people together, teach those cooking secrets and learn about different flavors from around the world.
