Hey everyone — glad to be here.
My name is Ryan Schneider. I’m based out of Burlington, Kentucky, and I’ve spent the better part of the last decade working at the intersection of transportation, federal security, and field operations. I’ve held a CDL, worked as a federal TSA officer at a major international airport, ran 911 dispatch, transported high-value assets under armed security protocols, and supervised operations teams across 24/7 facilities. Not the most linear career path on paper but looking back, every role was building the same thing: the ability to stay calm, stay accountable, and keep things moving when the stakes are real.
I found Verdis the way I think a lot of people do; frustrated with existing systems and genuinely curious whether something better could be built from the ground up. What kept me here was the seriousness of the people involved. This isn’t cosplay. There are people here who actually intend to build something and that’s rare enough to take seriously.
Where I see myself in Verdis:
When the time comes, I want to be part of the protection and public safety infrastructure, specifically the executive protection and security detail side. Not because it sounds exciting, but because it’s genuinely what I’ve been trained for across multiple real-world environments. I understand access control, threat identification, chain-of-custody protocols, and how to maintain operational continuity under pressure. A new nation’s most critical vulnerability in its early days is the safety of its leadership and the integrity of its borders and movement corridors. That’s a problem I’ve spent ten years accidentally preparing to solve.
Longer term, I’d want to help shape the doctrine, not just execute it. How does Verdis train its protection personnel? What are the SOPs? What does a trustworthy, professional, non-militarized public safety structure actually look like when you get to build it right from day one? Those are conversations I want to be in the room for.
I don’t have all the answers. But I show up, I follow through, and I don’t fold under pressure, which I’d like to think is exactly the kind of person a new nation needs more of than it needs talkers.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Feel free to reach out and ask questions or just to chat.

Ryan, welcome aboard.
Your background brings a level of real-world operational experience that’s hard to fake and even harder to replace. The common thread through everything you mentioned, transportation, TSA, dispatch, armed transport, and operations leadership is reliability under pressure, and that’s exactly the kind of mindset serious projects need early on.
I also appreciate your focus on building professional, accountable public safety structures instead of glorifying force or authority. The fact that you’re thinking about doctrine, standards, and long-term institutional trust says a lot.
Looking forward to seeing what you contribute here. Glad to have you in the community.

Thank you, that means a lot, genuinely.
You put into words something I’ve had a hard time articulating myself. I never thought of those roles as a coherent career, more like a series of situations I said yes to. But reliability under pressure is probably the most honest throughline I could claim, so I’ll take it.
The doctrine piece is where I’m most interested in contributing when the time is right. It’s easy to staff a security detail. It’s much harder to build a culture of accountability around it, one where the people doing the work understand why the standards exist, not just what they are. That’s the gap I’ve seen in every organization I’ve been part of, and it’s the thing I’d want Verdis to get right from day one.
Looking forward to the conversations ahead. And thanks again for the welcome, it’s the kind of response that makes you feel like you landed in the right place.

I became an e-Resident of Verdis because I’m interested in technology, digital governance, entrepreneurship, and how online communities can help shape new forms of civic participation.
