Anyway, welcome to my life. The photographed part, anyway. And even then, it's only photographs that I approve. And not a lot of those are from before I was 16. Actually, none of them are. To tell you the truth, this page doesn't document my life very well at all. But it takes a lot of effort to get pictures here, so don't expect it to change much.

Richi and I on the ski lift at Sunrise Ski Park. We went with the city during spring break our senior year of high school. |

At my high school we did Mock Rock every spring, where you dress up as a group and dance to their music. We did Queen, which explains the costumes. From left to right: Richi, Scott, Nate, Mark, Me. Trevor his hidden behind Nate. |

Walking out of a small amusment park near Washington, D.C., I saw this sign. For obvious reasons, I grabbed someone to take a picture. |

Top: A photo from the destruction of our Arizona room. Bottom: The room that will replace it, on 6/17/04. |

Nothing special, just the noose I wore at Sears. I think they wanted me to try to hang myself with it, but cruelly made the clip come undone easily, making such an easy escape impossible. |

I almost forgot about this. This is from the Busch Gardens trip. We went on the water ride in mid-afternoon. When we got to the end, no one was in line, so we asked the guys if we could go again. So they hit the button, and we went again. And again. And once more. We were soaked and freezing at the end, but it was still a lot of fun. |

The day of my high school graduation, two of my teachers from elementary school were retiring. So a bunch of people that went to school with me there went over and visted them. The first teacher is Miss Murphy, my kindergarten teacher, and the second is Mrs. Blaut, my third grade teacher. |

I usually go to Salt Lake City for Christmas, and it rarely snows when we're there. It snows before we go, it snows after we go, but not when we can see it. This past year it did, despite the weathermens' promises that it wouldn't. So my family and I had a snowball fight. Take THAT, Channel 2 News! |

Jayme and I together for no real reason. Actually, she came to my last band concert of the year because we were going out to see the opening of Star Wars Episode II later that night. |
 |
Me, Charlotte, Jody, and some guy I don't know. This is on a bus coming home from a city sponsored trip to Sunrise Ski Resort. |
 |
Using up film at the airport coming home from San Francisco during my Sophmore year. Left to right: Jessica, Erica, Kari, Me, Britni, Emily. |
 |
Still in the airport in San Francisco. Alicia wanted a picture with me. What was I supposed to say? No? |
 |
This is me tubing with Scott (I'm on the right) and wakeboarding at Lake Powell. It's a tad fuzzy, but yes, that is me. And I'm wearing a helmet for a very good reason... if you don't know what I'm talking about, scroll down. |

Pictures from my hike to Philmont Scout Ranch in NE New Mexico in June 2003. We hiked about 100 miles in 10 days. (Pop-up window) |
 |
The first weekend of Spring Break 2001, a bunch of us went up to Six Flags. This is a picture from X, a roller coaster in which the chair your sitting in spins forward and backward. Pictured here are Richi and I. We were pretty excited... I guess. |
 |
This is a series of pictures from our trip to Peppersauce Cave near Oracle, AZ. (Pop-up window) |
 |
One evening (back when I worked Harkins, the biggest chain of movie theaters in Arizona), I wrote out a list of why I hate my job on a roll of paper towels. I don't work there anymore, but people think it's so hilarious that I'm leaving it here. |

This is me in the hospital after I cracked my skull while wakeboarding. I spent 12 days in there, though I could have left after 3 or 4 if cerebral fluid hadn't been leaking out my right ear. I still don't hear very well out of that ear. They ended up jamming a huge needle into my spinal cord to drain it all out of my back over a period of 4 days. The doctor with me in the last pic is Dr. Sibley, my ER doctor. My mother insisted I put her here because she's the one that kept me alive. |

These are pictures from dances my junior year. The first girl is Heidi, the second girl is Erica, and the third girl is Charlotte. |
 |
This is me with Elyse in San Diego. I decided this one's small enough that I don't want to bother with thumbnailing it. |

These are my beloved cars, The Party Wagon (top) and The Party Wagon Two, A.K.A The RyanMobile. My mother bought PW a year before I was born so I've known it my whole life. It was like the younger brother I never had. My whole family hated it, except for me, so when I turned 16 it was going to be mine. Unfortunately, about a month before I got my liscense, its brakes died, and brake fluid leaked all over my driveway. Instead of fixing it, my parents decided to give it to St. Mary's Food Bank. This picture is from Aug. 15, 2001, when I was backing it up for the tow truck to take it away forever. We finally turned in our old minivan for PW Two on May 14, 2002. |
