Hello, I'm Ryan...or, um, Mr. Simmons. My moniker throughout the internet is IONRyan and you may occasionally hear someone call me Mr. Magic.

I graduated Archbishop Ryan High School in 2004. I started college at DeSales University, continued onto Temple University and have subsequently lived about 22 different lives.

Over the past 15 years, I've spent most of my time filming, volunteering, graphic designing, radio-ing, marketing, traveling, college-student-ing, real estate-ing, consulting, photo booth-ing, face painting, cat dad-ing, husband-ing, teaching, toy collecting, politic-ing and adding -ing to the end of words...ing.

Honestly, I'm still trying to decide exactly what I want to be when I grow up...should that day ever come!

As of Spring 2019, I'm mainly focused on my role at Archbishop Ryan High School. I have the pleasure of teaching students about the ever changing world of media, while also helping the school navigate those waters for the purpose of communication and marketing.
