A few things you might not know about Ryan…
What is your favorite quote?
“‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ – Benjamin Franklin. I love that his statement reflects the idea that the US Constitution is a framework for governance but is also fragile and requires the ongoing respect and active participation and commitment from the People to ensure its success for the generations to come.”
Who is your favorite actor / actress?
“We are big movie/cinema fans, and I make a point to see everything that Leobardo DiCaprio is in because you can be sure that it is going to be thrilling, very dramatic, or very serious, and always very well acted. All of which I love.”
If you had the option to pursue a different career, what would it be?
“I studied government and politics at the University of Texas at Austin and envisioned myself eventually moving to Washington, D.C. and working for a U.S. Senator as a Chief of Staff or helping to craft legislation on the Hill. While that did not exactly pan out, I have a passion for politics and have a great appreciation for public service and those who are called to serve.”
You have to sing Karaoke, what song do you pick?
“You can find all genres of music on my phone, and I have a VERY eclectic music taste, but being 4th generation Texan, I love Country music and it is always my ‘go-to’ genre at karaoke. You can usually catch me singing ‘Good Directions’ by Billy Currington or anything George Strait (the king of country music!).”
