Hello Everyone,
My name is John, AKA Mr. Ryan. I was born and raised in Battle Creek, a small city located on the west side of Michigan. I attended Western Michigan University and graduated, first with a degree in Advertising, and later in English Secondary Education.
I found my way into teaching after struggling to find value in my original career and a lot of thinking about what I believe is important. Also, my Mother was a teacher for many years and, although she definitely didn't encourage me or my siblings to enter her field, her experience helped to consider this career.
I love to travel, play music, read/write poetry, and explore the great outdoors. I lived in New York City for a few years after completing my original degree, and I enjoy visiting my family and friends there.
I'm thrilled to get to know you all over the next year!
