The name's Ryan, it's a popular Irish name meaning "Little King." I just turned 30 years old, and hoping to settle into somewhat of a normal life after the chaos of my 20's. I've spent most of my adult life working in the emergency response field. From working as the typical neighborhood firefighter, to responding to disasters across the country and the world. I maintain my sanity by lifting weights, and going to the shooting range. I'm a die hard Jimmy Buffett fan, and never miss his annual concert at Riverbend. Wanna know more?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chuck Norris, Sarah Palin, and Steve Irwin (RIP).

Which Third Watch Character Are You?

Bosco You are Bosco. Bosco is a bad ass cop who beats the crap out of all the guys he arrests.

Today was long, and hard. There's no other way to say it. I lost a friend. We all lost a friend. We lost a sister and a brother. I can speak for many of my colleagues by saying they feel the same...

A Word of Thanks

"And I called my men to follow me, knowing well that the view was dim... Though tired and torn, how they fought all worn, as time was closing in... Calling out to them, my brothers one by one... ...
