About Me

Wow, it's been a while since I updated this. I'm still Ryan and I'm still an art geek. During the day I'm a graphic designer at an advertising agency in St. Paul. The rest of my time is spent working with my band, Throw The Fight . It keeps me pretty busy. We're currently recording our first full album with World Record Productions . So be on the lookout for that around November. I also enjoy doing some freelance graphic design on the side. If you're on the lookout for those services, you can check out my photos for a few examples of my work. I also started this to meet some cool people along the way. I dig art, music, and adult beverages. Anything else you want to know, just ask! More on the way....

My Interests

Guitar, graphic design, painting, cooking, photography, museums, tattoos and getting ink, driving, coffee, "the biz," drawing, road trips, meeting people, networking, marketing, working out, jumping off kick drums, jumping off amps, rocking out, music, good times, going to shows.

I'd like to meet:

I'm down to get to know pretty much anyone. I'm all about meeting new people. I admire people that have strong goals or a good story to tell. So if that's you, then we're off to a good start! I try to keep my page to companies that I do business with or people that I actually know in real life. So please don't add me and expect me to accept without some sort of message, as well.

Music:

Rock, metal, punk, blues, and some Timbaland and Fergie - just for you haters ;)

Some of my favorites are Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, MXPX, Pennywise, Kenny Wayne Shepard, The Living End, Goldfinger, Alkaline Trio, Joe Satriani, As I Lay Dying, New Found Glory, Finch, A Verse Unsung, Thrice, Story of the Year, Saosin, Don't Look Down, Nofx, Rise Against, Strung Out, Parkway Drive, Lostprophets, Killswitch Engage, He Is Legend, Bullet For My Valentine, Anberlin. The list goes on and on...
