Welcome!

Hi! My name's Ryan, and I'm a military officer and writer. When I'm not at work or with friends and family, I'm on my keyboard writing. 


For me, writing is a release and an opportunity to capture life—in its true form. Specifically, as a military writer, I write about my time at the U.S. Air Force Academy and as an active-duty officer!

Also, I write on the tough decisions military officers must make:

  • When did your leadership ask you if you're interested in re-upping your commitment?

  • Do you feel like you can speak honestly about transitioning into civilian life?

  • Should you get a graduate degree while you transition?​

For vets, navigating civilian life can be incredibly overwhelming.

Further, my weekly blog focuses on military themes and topics (from articles to poems), explores writing as a craft and medium, and my journey to gain acceptance and thrive in a top law school.

Lastly, if you're interested in reading my Kindle Vella projects or are curious about the short story collection I'm writing, scroll down!!!!!!

Thanks for reading!!
