Ryker is a recent high school graduate from a rural part of Utah. He is 6’5, lanky, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He played tennis in high school and was the first singles player his junior year. He plays the drums and was the Percussion section leader in the band. He played drums in the high school jazz band as well. His older brother also played drums which inspired Ryker to start. Ryker was also an honors student and excelled in calculus and physics. Both of his parents are teachers, so it is expected that he does well in school. Ryker makes friends easily because everyone loves him. He is friendly and easygoing.

            Ryker was a very energetic child. He was a premature baby but that sure didn’t stop his stamina. When he was a toddler he climbed on just about everything and even broke his arm from falling off his parents’ bed.

            Ryker is from a big family. His parents are divorced and both remarried. He mostly grew up with his mom but now lives with his dad. He has 4 biological siblings and 5 new stepsisters (combining both sides.) Out of the biological siblings he grew up with he is the second to youngest. He has a younger sister that he teases lovingly. As a family, they watch movies, play card and board games, play ping pong, and joke around constantly. When he has the chance, Ryker plays tennis with his older brothers, who were also on the tennis team, and his dad, who is the girls’ tennis coach at a different school.

            This summer Ryker got a part time job working at Little Caesars to try and raise some money for the future. In his spare time Ryker enjoys skateboarding and making movies with his close group of guy friends that he grew up with. They even have their own YouTube channel. Ryker and his friends go on random excursions when possible. Just last week, Ryker and his friends decided to hike Mount Nebo, it took them 12 hours. They love to go on adventures, especially in the summer.

            Ryker grew up playing with Legos constantly. He absolutely loved Legos and building the models perfectly by following the instructions. He would also build his own designs. He loves to take things apart to see how they work and often talks of building robots. Ryker is intrigued and enjoys watching shows such as MacGyver and Myth busters. Though he does like watching other movies and TV shows as well.

            Ryker will eat most things and can eat a lot, since he is a tall teenage boy. He loves to eat cereal, particularly Honey Bunches of Oats and Life. He fills his bowl to the brim and hopes it won’t spill over. It’s probably his favorite food. Though, Ryker can eat a lot, he often forgets to eat if he gets busy with his friends or homework. Ryker would rather go without eating, or just eat cereal than prepare a meal. If someone makes food and gives it to him he will eat it but isn’t so keen on preparing his own.

             Ryker wears t-shirts and jeans with green Vans. He styles his hair with paste, often using Axe messy paste. He does this because that is what is most comfortable as well as his similar older brother’s style.

            Ryker is going on a full-time mission for the LDS church for two years. He is going to Birmingham England to teach his religion. He is a firm and active member of the LDS church. Lately, he has had to purchase new suits, clothes and other items to prepare. He grew up in the LDS church and has gained his own belief of it.
