Ryan is a man who has his history quietly. The discipline of the military stays in his posture, but the gym is where he finds his rhythm now. Strength comes naturally to him, though it’s the softer moments—sharing food with a stray cat, or pausing in thought between sets—that give him weight.

Life hasn’t always offered clear direction, yet he keeps moving forward with a calm determination. There’s a steadiness in him, the sense that whatever comes next, he’ll meet it head-on.
