Texan Ryan Carney was born in 1983 and is a model and personal trainer that has the brains to go with his looks. He studied Kinesiology at the University of Texas-Austin and has a B.S. with emphasis on Athlete Training.

Carney began his career with the Austin YMCA, where he trained a general population clientele and physically retarded children. During his kinesiology internship, he worked with professional and college golfers, cyclists, tennis, and basketball players, and developed the skills necessary to provide high-quality functional training.

After graduation, in 2006, Carney moved to L.A. where he was discovered by a modeling agent. For only a mere two months, he rapidly bagged big campaigns. On only his second casting, he nabbed a spot in the "Dolce & Gabbana Cruise Collection ads". By the end of 2007, he signed with Ford Models and soon appeared in many editorials including gracing the pages of "Tetu" magazine.
