CURRENT MISSION

Practicing Medicine

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Ryan. I also go by Rytron. I am a laid back and fun guy, and I love to run, cycle, swim, lift, and play any sport, especially basketball, tennis, ping-pong, and volleyball. I enjoy watching movies. I also love traveling. A few summers ago, I bicycled across Europe and then visited Alaska for a month. Four years ago, I traveled around the world for over 7 months and then bicycled across the United States upon my return. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, kayaking, and viewing wildlife. I am currently working very hard as an emergency medicine resident physician in New York. I would really appreciate anyone who could host me. I will provide many entertaining stories.

PHILOSOPHY

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
"Don't let anything throw you off the goal you set for yourself."
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
"You are the music while the music lasts."
