Jonathon Ryan comes to the Top Affiliate Challenge as one of the greenest contestants. Despite his apparent lack of internet marketing credentials, he managed to generate the votes and the online support to secure one of the coveted Top 10 seats on the show.

Ryan's passion for technologies began in the Army, where he served the United States intelligence community by operating systems that led to today's CG magic.

Honorably discharged, Ryan continued serving the DoD until his needs seemed better met introducing computers to his family's print company. A consummate showman, he rode a bicycle over 1,200+ miles back home where he developed expertise in design, production, management and marketing in the publishing industry and spearheaded the adoption of GPS-based precision farming.

Then, multiple myeloma struck. As a cancer survivor and Christian - Ryan is living proof that one's body failing does not limit SPIRIT. Jon's an acting L&LS Ambassador; Nebraska Honored Hero; organized several TOP fundraising teams; completed a 20+ mile "State Game's Adventure Race"; arranged a haircut from Tom Osborne for charity and plays a well care advocate in a commercial.

Ryan's competitive spirit and drive to succeed are definitely his strengths, but will his rural persona and offline skills be enough to lead him to a Top Affiliate Challenge victory? When people ask Ryan how he plans to compete he offers one simple response: Dream. Pray. Believe.
