Ryan Houck is a Florida-based media consultant[1] and executive director of the free market watchdog group Free Market America.[2] In 2012, he was called the radical environmentalist's "worst nightmare."[3]

On Earth Day, 2012 Houck's group launched Free Market America with the release of a video called "If I wanted America to fail." The video, which was written and narrated by Houck,[3] slammed the radical environmental movement and quickly went viral, earning more than 2.6 million views on YouTube.[4][5]

Conservative pundits including Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin and others celebrated the video [4][6] and Houck appeared on national news shows, such as Stossel[7] and Glenn Beck.[8]

Before launching Free Market America, Houck was the executive director of Free Market Florida[9] and Florida's successful 2010 campaign to defeat an initiative backed by environmentalists called "Hometown Democracy."[10][11] In 2012, Houck was named one of Orlando's "40 Under 40."[12]
