Say hello to Ryan!

5 Basic Facts:

-I was born on May 20th, so I guess I'm a Taurus/kind of on the cusp for Gemini. Not a horoscope person, but I'm sure some of the weirdos who troll this board would enjoy knowing my "sign" and "personality".

-Im 24 years old.

-Born in Nova Scotia, Canada - have lived here most of my life. Would love to travel, but haven't had the chance to leave North America. Have traveled all across Canada, and to a bunch of places in the States - Missouri, North Carolina, Maine and Massachussets.

-Ottawa and Boston are my favourite cities in the world.

-I'm a huge sports fan; aside from tennis, my favourite sports are NBA (Clippers and Celtics fan), NFL (Dolphins and Saints), NHL (Senators), and all kinds of olympic sports.

-My mom making homemade play-doh for me and my brothers, and eating some of it - every time.

-My nanny (grandmother) on my mom's side making me peanut butter balls every time we came to visit.

-Playing baseball, with my dad as the coach - a ton of fun.

-Losing an elementary school spelling bee to a dumbass girl, because I misspelled AUGUST of all words. I'm an awesome speller...it was so embarrassing.

-Seeing the Lion King in theatres about 10x. My parents were sick of taking me, so my uncle, then my aunt, then my grandmother took me.

-I visited the Rogers Cup in Montreal in 2006, the first and only live tennis tournament I've been to. Saw Hingis reach the final, and lose to Ivanovic - who I hated then.

-Joining Sigma Chi - big part of my life, has given me lots of leadership and philanthropy opportunities.

-Starting my UnderGrad in Journalism.
