Early life

Ryan grew up in Black Forest, Colorado. He is a graduate of Air Academy High School (class of 1980), [4] and earned an associate degree from Pikes Peak State College.

Publicity Stunts

To mark the 50th anniversary of its completion, Ryan rode his skateboard across Hoover Dam 50 times while a DJ at KLUC in 1986.

In 2000 Ryan sat in every seat at the just completed Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, MN.

In 2002 billboards appeared around the Minneapolis area with the words "ugly kids," featuring the photos of a boy and girl. After swelling controversy follow up billboards were posted with the words "grow up to be DJs," along with the adult photos of Ryan and his then co-host Angi Taylor.
