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!!
