: About Me

My name is Ryan. I am happily married to the woman of my dreams and have been since December of last year. We have a wonderful baby boy who is now 16 months old.
We are currently living in Butte, MT after moving from Rock Springs, WY. We had lived there most of our lives and had wanted to move. Unfortunately the passing of my mother in law is what made it happen faster, but we are doing better now.
I work at RedLine Sports as a sales representative. We sell ATVs, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. We only deal with Honda, Polaris, and KTM.
Poetry has been my life for many years now. I have been researching a lot lately on how to get published, but am having little luck. But I do want my writings to get out into the world. I ran across this site and figured I have tried everything else, this can't hurt.

You tune the Sirius radio, And slide your belt across your chest, Preparing for another long trip, Another trip away from the nest. You slowly slide it in to first, And release both of your brakes, Gently easing out on the clutch, Cause that is all it takes. Now your tires are rolling faste...
