History

Ryan began in the hardcore punk scene when he was 13, identifying with the straight edge and vegan culture.

In 2002, Ryan joined Christian metal outfit, Haste the Day, being 8 years older than all the members except for the drummer, Devin Chaulk. Years later, Ryan claims that his biggest regret in life was that he left the band, however, feels that it was the best decision for the band. In 2008, the band released their debut album The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole through Solid State Records. The band stated on their Facebook page they were working on a new EP that was to be titled, Reckoner, but Lauver's personal page stated that Trenches had disbanded. After a brief amount of time back home, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to work with Johnson once again.
