Brief Biographical Sketch:

Born in a ramshackle log cabin deep in the Andromeda Sector, Ryan always knew he was destined for great things. He worked hard to follow in his family business of keeping bees in micro-gravity while simultaneously reading every book he could get his hands on about time travel. One day, while working in his lab, Ryan stumbled upon a working prototype and was instantaneously transported (as a baby) to Connecticut in the year 1988. Losing his memory completely, Ryan grew up as a normal Earth child, moving to New Hampshire at age 5. He still lives there to this day, though he is now a junior at MIT pursuing a degree in physics. Why he does this is unknown to him, but he's always felt that he belongs somewhere among the stars, covered in honey.

Ryan has also been practicing improv for 5 years and is also involved in ultimate frisbee here at MIT. He enjoys long walks on the beach and inventing biographies.
