I was born and raised in Fort Worth, and except for three years living in England, I've been here all my life. My family had a western wear store called "Ryon's" in the Stockyards, and I grew up showing horses and working in the store. I recieved my undergraduate degree from The University of North Texas, and my Masters in Educational Theatre from New York University. I've previously worked for HEBISD, and am excited to be back here in the Fort Worth ISD. I'm divorced and have two sons, Will and Logan, and a Siamese cat named Ping. I currently live in South Arlington. I'm looking forward to a successful year in this "new normal"! Go Cougars!
