Ryan and K-9 Hank

I was born in St. Paul Mn. Grew up with 4 sisters and 1 brother., both of my parents are still married, and raised us in a religious upbringing. I would say my childhood was normal, bounced between public school, private, and homeschool. Went to centennial High School. After graduation i worked concrete, and at the age of 19 I joined the Vadnais heights fire dept as a volunteer. In 2005 I joined the army reserves. I served for 8 years including a tour of little over a year in Afghanistan. In 2012 I was offered a job with the St Paul fire dept which I took. I have been a firefighter now for over 20 years, and over 10 with St Paul. In July 2022 I had an incident and was fortunate enough to have good ppl around me. I was sent to a recover center in Utah. I’m still working both firefighting jobs, I am an assistant chief in Vadnais heights, and a firefighter with St Paul. thank you for your time.
