Welcome!
Hi! My name's Ryan, and I'm a military veteran and writer. When I'm not at work or with friends and family, I'm on my keyboard.
​
For me, writing is a release and an opportunity to capture life—in its true and fleeting form. Although I have left the service, I like to capture my time at the U.S. Air Force Academy, time as an active-duty officer, and my newfound appreciation for civilian life!
​​
Also, I write on the tough decisions military officers must make:
-
When were the pivotal moments in your career?
-
How is your transition to civilian life actually going?
-
Will you regret not leaving sooner or exiting too early?​
For vets, and honestly everyone, navigating civilian life can be incredibly overwhelming and exciting.
​
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 figuring out what I'm going to do with my life.
​
Lastly, if you're interested in reading my Kindle Vella projects or are curious about the short story collection I'm writing, subscribe!

Thanks for reading!!
