GENERAL MANAGER

Ryan Wiggins

Ryan Wiggins is a man of many talents. He is truly passionate about the work he does here at Abyss Battery. "Making the best Marine Grade Lithium Batteries in North America!"


Ryan grew up around the ocean and has been diving since he was 11 years old. He served in the Navy during OIF/OEF and deployed four times as an underwater mine warfare specialist and “gun captain”. When he exited the Navy, he took a job as a robotics technician and worked with micro-circuitry before getting bored and going back to college for gunsmithing.


Ryan successfully managed the busiest gunsmithing shop in Arizona and found a passion for competitive shooting. He traveled around the country for four years competing at a professional level before moving to Florida and rekindling his love for the ocean as a Dive Instructor. Before working at Abyss Battery, he was the Dive Team Supervisor at a famous aquarium, specializing in rescuing and rehabilitation of marine animals.


Ryan's easy-going demeanor, love for sharks, and cool dog named Doug make him a favorite among customers. But it's his dedication to customer service that really sets him apart. Ryan always puts the needs of others first, ensuring that each and every one of his customers is taken care of.

With a background in operations and a former life in the oil and gas industry, he made the jump into the fishing world in 2018 and never looked back. Since then, he’s helped grow some of the top brands in the marine and outdoor space through compelling content and thoughtful marketing.

Originally from Oklahoma and now based in Florida, he brings a grounded, hands-on approach to everything he does. At Abyss, he’s focused on telling the brand’s story, helping customers find the right power solution, and occasionally reminding the team that good marketing starts with understanding your audience… preferably while on a boat.

His path since graduating from the University of Notre Dame has allowed Jason to work in several industries and in virtually every area of sales and operations as well as HR, legal, and finance.
