Innovating for a Smarter, Connected World
I’m Ryan Herd, a visionary leader transforming lives at the intersection of AI, technology, and humanity. With over 30 years in smart tech, I’ve scaled ventures, driven innovation, and led communities—delivering $35M+ in value across industries.
​
Inspired by my caregiving journey, I founded Caregiver Smart Solutions, empowering 10,000+ families with AI-driven tools until its successful acquisition in 2024. As CEO of 1 Sound Choice for 21 years, I’ve delivered 500+ smart home projects, from high-end security systems to immersive audio, generating $15M+ in revenue. My partnerships with Google and Coldwell Banker, patents in IoT, and Amazon #1 book, Join the Smart Home Revolution, cement my leadership in tech.
​
In 2025’s tariff-driven economy, I help businesses and families navigate uncertainty with cost-efficient AI and smart home solutions. As a former Pequannock, NJ mayor (2020, 2024), I championed tech-driven safety during COVID-19, strengthening communities. My TEDx talks and media appearances on Fox Business and NewsMax inspire global audiences.
​
An IRONMAN, marathon runner, and dad to Riley, Toby, and Peyton, I’m fueled by discipline and family. Whether advising enterprises, speaking, or volunteering in Pequannock, I’m driven to create impact. Let’s shape a smarter future together.
