My name is Ryan. I'm originally from Green Bay, WI. I'm middle of five kids ranging from 21 to 27. I love my family, they're great. I am enlisted in the Army, one more year to go, yay for me! I have finished 3 years of college and I hope to one day teach HS Chem and Coach Cross Country and Track. I would consider myself a down to earth person for the most part and a self proclaimed dork but that is a term of endearment so don't get the wrong impression. I am motivated and have a multitude of life goals (first on the list is getting out of the Army). I wouldn't trade any of my friends for the world. I would consider myself spiritual but definately not religious at this time. I choose to do right because that makes me feel good, not because someone or thing told me I had too. I hope to one day figure out what exactly I believe but until then I'm going to live life to its fullest and keep on learning.
