We had a wonderful spring day for Ryan’s session.  It was held on his uncle’s property in Maple Park.  He had gorgeous grounds with a pond, barn, lots of trees and vegetation and even a cool rusted out garbage can!  Ryan is a gymnast who has qualified for the IHSA state meet even though his high school doesn’t have a gymnastic team!  That shows his dedication and determination to the sport.  He practices in Streamwood year round 6 days a week.  His specialty is the high bar even though he qualified for all-around.  He is planning on attend Elgin Community College in the fall so he can compete 1 more year with his club gymnastic team and then hope to go to UIC and compete with their team.  He is also an avid trumpet player and has played in the high school band and many other theater performances.  He even missed his senior prom so he could play in a theater performance in Elgin.

Best of luck at State Ryan!
