Ryan Ga'llego

Born in Belleville, IL. Raised in Millstadt, IL. Currently live in Edwardsville, IL where I am pursuing a BS in Economics and Finance.

Here is my life story and a little bit ABOUT ME so lets jump into it.

2007 & 2008 Summers: I attended the Missouri Military Academy Leadership Camps in Mexico, MO.

April 2009: while playing in a soccer tournament in STL I met my boss Paul Bryant and began working at STL Digital.

2010: That Summer I worked for Keystone Event Staffing at Grizzly Stadium in food service. In August I started working at the Shrine Apartment Community as a Dietary Assistant. I served the elderly residents food and accommadated any of their needs.

2011: My senior year at Belleville West I was apart of the Co-Op program. I went to school half the day and worked the other half at the Bement & Stubblefield Law Firm as a paralegal assistant.

2012: The Spring semester of my senior year I continued working at the law firm, STL Digital, and started volunteering at the Belleville Humane Society. I graduated in May 2012 from high school with a 3.22 GPA. Also, as an 18 year old still in high school I founded my own photography company as a self-employed photography contractor and grossed close to $30,000 by the end of the fiscal period. In August 2012 I started my freshmen year at SIUe. In December I worked at Cupid's Steakhouse in Fairview Heights as a server over the winter break.

2013: In August I developed the first Campus Rep. program at SIUe for Greek Gear, became a founding father of the Sigma-Rho Chapter of Kappa Sigma in the Spring, volunteered for the Wounded Warriors Project as well as St. Jude's Up Till Dawn, and during the Summer I worked at Mid-America Foundations Inc. as an assistant foreman.

2014: In January I joined and helped develop the SIUe Athletic Department Marketing Rep. Internship. During this internship, my fellow interns and myself developed and carried out the The World Record for the Most Pepsi Cans Opened at One Time. I also made the Dean's List that Spring Semester. The summer of 2014 I was brought on as the food truck supervisor for Sia's Italian Ice. My Fall 2014 semester I volunteered with the Ann Callis Congressional Campaign, continued working at my internship and at STL Digital, had my hardest semester of college yet, and at the end of it I made Dean's List for the second consecutive semester.
