Ryan Troxler

Ryan grew up in the small town of Douglass, Kansas before attending Kansas State University and graduating with a degree in Computer Science.

Sports and fitness have been a passion for Ryan since he was a kid; he very nearly skipped a more traditional college education in favor of becoming a fitness trainer before his dad convinced him to pursue engineering instead. He did at least remain active throughout his college days competing in both Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting, placing favorably in some local competitions but ultimately falling short of his goals to attend a national-level meet (maybe someday).

After college, he spent a little over half a decade honing his software development skills before finding Kicksite. His closest encounter with martial arts is probably a semester of a boxing class he took in his freshmen year of college, but he’s excited to learn more about what has always been a fascination for him.
