 Hi, my name is Ryan and I am currently a resident in Boulder County in Longmont, Colorado. What I am doing professionally right now is I'm the marketing manager for Longmont Public Media. In my free time, I like to play Pokemon Go with friends. I like to listen to audiobooks, I like to listen to podcasts. I like to draw. Yes, in fact, I am actually working on a graphic novel right now, a graphic novel that I wrote, draw, and I'm penciling and inking the pages and I will eventually be coloring as well. It's an ambitious project and I'm excited about it. The theme of my graphic novel is restorative justice and how restorative justice can help in real life. What I see as the biggest problem with the criminal justice system as it stands today is the fact that we want to find someone to blame and then we want to just put them away and not think about them again instead of actually looking at what caused the issue in the first place and how do we resolve that issue that led to that person doing whatever they did. If I could travel into the future or into the past, I would go back into the past and listen to one of the greatest performances ever performed back in ancient Rome that could not be recorded. It was, it packed up the house, everyone said it was the greatest performance of all time and there's no recording up it, they'll never know what happened and I'd love to hear what that sounded like. If I could go anywhere in the world for two, all expenses paid for two days, I would probably go to New Zealand because it seems incredible. The scenery seems incredible and I've seen it in movies but I've never seen it in real life. If I could have any automobile in the world, it would be one of those tricycle cars because I just like standing out. If I could have anything in the world for dinner, no expense, it would be nachos from Garfinkels. If I had to be stuck in an elevator with somebody, I, yeah, who would I want to be stuck in an elevator with? Honestly, if I had to be stuck in an elevator with somebody, I would want to be stuck with the woman I'm dating right now who's Francis. If I had a choice between going to the moon or going to the deepest depths of the sea floor, I would honestly choose going to the moon mainly because for some reason going to the deepest depths of the sea floor seems scarier to me. If I had a chance to give everyone in the world a worldwide message, it would be anytime you're thinking about blaming anyone, instead think about who has hurt, what's the problem, and how can we solve it. My favorite book is probably going to be Hard Times by Charles Dickens. My favorite performer is Chromio because they know how to put on a show. My favorite animal probably dogs because get along with them and it's, yeah, when I was born my parents always told me that I was a park dog because I was raised around them and no matter what the situation I'm never afraid of dogs because they feel like family to me. If I could be any dog for a day I would be a great dang because they have the best personality. They're huge which means they can run really fast though they get really tired and they can just nap everywhere plus they can sit on people. My favorite color is orange. I thought at first because my parents both went to UT so they surrounded my room with like UT stuff that was all burnt orange but eventually I realized I really liked this, you know, this bright orange right here. It stands out and it's different which is what I like being different. My dream for the future is that there will never be a problem so big that we want to cause harm to someone else. In conclusion I would like to say I feel honored to be a human of log mods and I really just enjoy being part of this community and I want to be part of it for a long time.
