Ryan has been involved in the hacking community for most of their life, but it really picked up on the original "Hackers on a Plane" trip back in 2007. That led to involvement with Noisebridge, attending the original ToorCamp in 2008, playing CTFs, running CTFs, a successful infosec career, and speaking at several well known conferences. They are now working on their most challenging hacking project yet - their body.
