A little bit about me.

My name is Anthony Ryan. Currently I hail from the great state of Arizona, in the city of Tucson. The weather is ok, personally I love snow. I moved here from Minnesota a few years ago but that is another story.

Family

I have been married to my wife Xochitl (Pronounced: So'Chee) for 12 years and counting. We have four incredible and eneregetic children. 3 are in school and 1 sounds like she should be.

Experience

I am currently an Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Whew, THAT'S a mouthful. I teach "Online Media to the journalism students there. In fifteen weeks I teach them Dreamweaver, WordPress, Web Design, graphic design, video shooting/editing, Final Cut Pro and have them create a personal "brand" by the end of the semester. I have been told it is the hardest class that they have taken to date because of how many DIFFERENT pieces of software and assignments they have due. It is a lot like being a wrestller in the WWE, everytime I have a classroom full of people and I always get a "Man I wish I had known that yesterday", or "Man, that was cool". POP goes the audience!! Life is good!!

Businesses

I finally owned my first business in 2007. After going at it for 2 years, I closed the doors last year. BUT I learned a lot of lessons, hard ones unfortunately, but I learned them all the same.

Those lessons lead me to creating 1000for65. It is clear, concise and you know exactly what I do and there is no extra clutter. Then after teaching at ASU for a couple of years I decided to start the S.M.A.R.T. Group of Arizona to teach business owners the same thing I teach my journalism students. Basically I love helping people, expecially Business Owners. I can't give it all away and need to earn a living so I choose printing and teaching. I

Goals

I want to get paid to talk. I love getting people to think outside of the box. Whenever I meet with people, I try to make it a mini-mastermind session. They usually leave overwhelmed and their eyes glazed over.

I am using social media to meet as many of you as possible!

Stand apart from the crowd, BE A SOCIAL MEDIA ROCKSTAR!!!

Thank you for coming to my little part of the internet and I hope to meet you soon!
