Ryan Keefer comes from a continuing tradition of bald men of Polish decent. After a fairly anonymous turn in high school and some college, he decided to "be all that he could be" and joined the Army. While some may find Army service distasteful, not many times can you say you will be paid to move and work on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. In between defending the Pacific Ocean from attack from hostile forces, he enjoyed the usual local sights, sounds, and experiences on the weekends, and began to fully appreciate video rental stores during the week. He did anything possible to wax nostalgic on his time on the islands. Whether it's watching re-runs of Magnum P.I., Dog the Bounty Hunter or any other modern-day TV or movie set in Hawaii (though he can't be disturbed when the original version of From Here to Eternity is on TV).

Ryan works for an insurance company in Virginia where he comfortably lives with his wife Raina. When they are not sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, they enjoy relaxing at home. Ryan also writes for dvdtalk.com in what little spare time he has left.
