From the sunlit shoals of Hawaii to the misty trails of New Zealand, Ryan has amassed a great treasure in the form of stories, which he collects the way others collect fridge magnets. He's traded riddles with ageless guardians, captured forest spirits in song, and wrested insight from wonders great and small.
Like any true bard, his stories are imbued with the adventure of one who wanders and the magic of what was once called an "unruly" imagination, tempered by both a personal and an academic understanding of psychology.
Currently taking respite in a floating castle somewhere in Minnesota, Ryan haunts local coffee shops, dreams of tending a garden, and often pretends to be someone else when he's not busy pretending to be himself.
