Day in the Life of Ryan

06 September 2019

Citrix guru Ryan Johnson just got married! You'll most find him doing background server work with Citrix and user accounts. He's been at the school just over a year, got married a few weeks ago and is a photographer! Let's take a few minutes to get to know more about him.

What is one of your proudest moments at work?

Making it a full year without dying! But seriously, I've been recently feeling a lot more able to do some of the more technical work without as much help from our resident guru, Daniel. There's a lot to learn about how our system works!

Tell us something we don't know about you?

I'm proudly curating a photography Instagram account called @arge.photography and have just recently started a little Edmonton photography community with the hashtag #yegraphy. We encourage a community of people that support and encourage learning and bettering ourselves as photographers!

If you weren't doing what you do now, what would you be doing?

Most likely something in photography. It's one of my passions and is my favourite creative outlet.

What's the best advice somebody has ever given you?

Outside of your job, make sure you have 3 types of hobbies - one to kill time, one to make money, and one to push you as a constant learner.

Favourite quote, movie or book?

My favourite quote comes from a song:

"I'm not sentimental, this skin and bones is a rental, and no one makes it out alive" - Jon Foreman

I take this to mean "Enjoy every moment and don't regret your decisions because we only have so much time to enjoy this life."
