Here is some information about me and also some fun facts!

Hello my name is Ryan Evans.  I was born on July 27th 1984 in South Bend, Indiana.  To me family is very important.  I come from  a very large family which I love very much.  They have instilled in me a sense of self, hard work, and an unselfish attitude.  For this I am forever grateful.  In grade school I attended St. Mary's of the Assumption where I was involved in plays, athletic teams, and was voted class president in 8th grade.  I graduated with distinction from Washington High School in South Bend in 2002.  While there, I ran track for 4 years (captain and sportsmanship award senior year), played basketball for 2 years, and ran cross country 3 years (Kiwanis Award senior year).  During high school I also helped coach 7th and 8th grade basketball at my church.  After high school, I decided to attend Manchester College because of their excellent education program.  I will be graduating in the spring of 2007.  While at Manchester College I was a varsity track and field performer (team captain senior year).  I was also a radio DJ for 3 years at WBKE, Manchester's radio station.  Perhaps one of the best experiences in college was to be involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters.  I had the opportunity to mentor and make a positive difference in a life of a child.  Interacting with my little brother for 4 years gave me a different view of the world.  He has taught me to appreciate all the small things in life.  Scroll down the page to find out my interests and the lighter side of me.  This is only a small portion of my life.  If you would like to know more contact me at re400meters@aol.com or 574-229-2284.
