About Ryan
Ryan Cannon claims to be a mild-mannered manager of application development for the NFL, but that façade is a thin veneer over the information scientist, gamer and unabashed nerd that lurks beneath. He fled the midwest in 2007 for the temperate clime of Los Angeles, CA where he lives with his wife Jill.
