About Me
My kids and I, in Mukilteo, Washington (near Seattle) in July of 2022.
TL:DR…
As of 2022… My name is Ryan, lived in Utah all my life. Father of twins. Love to travel, explore new places, take photographs of these places and explorations. Favorite band is Sublime. Favorite tv show is Mystery Science Theater 3000. Cheer for the Utah Jazz. Love to ice skate (hockey blades). Had my own business for 15 years fixing/servicing computers and phones. Currently front end manager for a grocery store in Park City, Utah. Love solving complex puzzles. No longer drink, but that doesn’t stop me from having fun…
Well, that is the “quick” version of my life up to this point… You can see what I have been up to (almost) everyday since June of 2005, or you can also see what I am doing right now by following me in social medialand.
