Get To Know Ryan

What are you happiest doing when you’re not working? Being on trails and immersing myself in nature. Whether its hiking up mountains or just looking up at the universe in our night sky, I love to be out-and-about and hope to soon get into backpacking and tackling that new challenge! Now I just need to find someone who can show me the ropes.

What’s one thing on your bucket list? Probably to one day own a ranch or, at the very least, some farm animals to take care of. I guess I’m drawing on my country Kentucky roots here, but I think it would be nice to experience that new form of lifestyle.

What’s something people are surprised to find out about you? That I’m obsessed with space! Back when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, I almost chose to study astrophysics instead of architecture. Obviously, I ended up choosing architecture, but I still try to keep myself up-to-date with any space news/facts. My current pipedream is to one day own a Celestron 8SE Telescope.
