Ryan’s personal Bio:
Ryan 13 was born in 1982 in Toronto Ontario. Life was rather uneventful up until
Ryan moved to Thunder Bay from Marathon and started going to high school. Some call
it attention deficit disorder, some call it puremaniacal genius. At a very young
age Ryan realized the power pain possessed. It was this power that Ryan embraced.
His dreams of being an astronaut or detective flew out the window. From that day on,
Ryan was a ’stuntman’. In January of 2004, Ryan was put in a situation where he had
no money, no place to live and no real hopes. It was then he decided to move back to
Thunder Bay. As a way to get money, he performed some stunts for a crowd of hundreds
at a bar in Kingston, Ontario.The minute the blood started to flow and the people
gasped, Ryan knew he found something he was damn good at. In May of 2004, Ryan reunited
with some friends from high school that were now known as SPDST. From that day on it was
history. Every time a stunt was done, the bar was raised higher and higher and Ryan gladly obliged.
In January of 2007, Ryan 13 opened Eternal Ink. A small tattoo shop in Thunder Bay.
It is here where Ryan is most likely to be found. Ryan 13 may have taken a hiatus,
but those types of talent never go away. They may lie dormant, but one day an explosion
will occur and the world will never be the same. Currently he is filming for a Online TV Show called The Ryan 13 and Alex Show.
