Ryan is possibly one of the greatest minds of our time. He is smart, funny, atheletic (cough, cough), and talented. Being musically inclined, even with no natural abilities and still having to develop an ear for notes, Ryan is everyone's favorite mediocre bassist. In fact, if there were one word that described him it would be just that, mediocre. In everything he does, he is mediocre. Is this a bad thing? No, in fact, it is quite astounding considering the level of effort he puts into his work. When a person can slip through AP classes, a job, a band, and fulfilling the jobs of his ever-missing parents; to be mediocre does not necessarily translate to being average or less than talented. While being the average bass player in his abilities, the style and energy that fill up Ryan's basslines are truly something one must witness live to understand. Yes, although he is shy and unable to speak to people, onstage, Ryan truly shines. As he runs around whiping his ridiculously beautiful hair (possibly the only non-mediocre thing about him, how good of condition his hair is in!), one can fully appreciate the decent, everyday type of person that he is. Well, this is getting a bit long now... so, the rest of the information is BELOW! ^,^
