I was born Ryan Dale Hardesty in 1980 on the 25th of January to Ronnie Dale and Gaynell Marie Hardesty. I grew up in San Diego and did the things that most boys growing up in San Diego do, I rode bikes, skateboarded, surfed, and built forts.

I went to college and studied marketing. I married my high shool sweet heart Summer Anne Randol in 2004 and our first child is due in late august of 2009.

My wife and I lived in Oregon for 2 years (2006-2008) and quickly burnt out on the rain and moved back to Sunny San Diego. Durring my time living in Oregon I worked for All State Real Estate, and Creative Media Group.

Most of my post college life has been spent working as a marketing consultant for many companies around San Diego.
