ABOUT ME

Boom! Michael Jackson publicly performed the moonwalk for the first time, Sally Ride became the first woman in space, The Nintendo Entertainment System was introduced to the Japanese market, and David W. Ryan entered the world with smile. The year was 1983, a year that would forever change the course of the twentieth century.

Young David was brought home to the Bremerton of Washington. As a youth he battled the scourge of invisible trolls that plagued his local forest using only sticks, beach mud, and rocks.

Upon entering junior high, he made two decisions that would alter him in inexpicable ways. One - he switched from boxers to briefs. Two - he would be known as Dave.

After young Dave's body finished its expansion of cells and flesh, he came to the horrible realization that his feet were two different sizes, and that he would never truly wear a pair of shoes to its full comfort potential.
