Basically, on this blog I’ll talk most about startup stuff, entrepreneurship, and my lifes adventures in photos or long form writing. Please comment, the conversations are why I do it.
Around The Web
I use Twitter for thoughts that are too small for a blog post and regularly post to RyanGraves.org for things that will make you laugh, sing, or think. I read like crazy and share that list here.
Around The World
I’m a passionate traveler. I’ve safaried and volunteered in the deserts of Kenya, climbed the pyramids of Egypt (until I got kicked off w/ an over zealous AK-47), followed my parents around London, road tripped the coasts of Ireland (2 times, *favorite country), and corporate trained throughout China & Sweden. A significant portion of my personal savings goes into a category titled, Next Trip, and I’ll continue that pattern until I’ve seen enough. That will never happen, God willing.
Offline
I’m from San Diego, CA where I will eventually return. I currently live in Chicago, IL with my wife, although I spend a lot of time in San Francisco & New York for work. You can also view my resume here.
