hi, I’m bowtie!
Okay, my real name is Ryan. I’m a bow tier, designer, and cybersecurity fighter currently with HORNE Cyber. I’m passionate about coffee, gaming, and spreading Jesus joy wherever I can. I’m also a level 2 dad.
This is my high ground.

How God Sees Us
Chances are, you’ve attended a wedding before. Either as a guest, perhaps a best man, flower girl. Whatever your reason, you can remember that moment when the bride is announced. Each person stands, the music strikes, and the bride in all her beauty and grace appears...
what I’m playing
Dice Throne: Season 1
Dice Throne: Season 1 is a new favorite of mine. Combining phase-based turns (think MTG) with a smattering of luck (thanks to the dice), Hero-specific card and dice stacks, this game is a masterpiece.
Destiny 2: Forsaken
Some people would say Destiny 2 is a failure, but those people haven’t achieved god status after Rampage-imbued chained compound bow kills bathe them in a river of Vex milk. Lately it’s my game of choice. Probably will bite bullet and pick up the Annual Pass, soon.
(PS – that’s me in the gif.)
what I’m listening to
Spotify
My musical tastes change based on mood, but you’ll always hear me bumping Trip Lee, Andy Mineo, Lecrae, Hillsong, Mumford, Keane, and everything in between. I tend towards mellow with peaks of trap.
what I’m shooting

Okay, I'm not a "photographer" by any well-defined bar, but I absolutely love snapping shots. I've decided I'm decent enough that others might enjoy using my work for free on their own projects. Enter Unsplash.
instagramma
Most of my IG photos are chronicling daily life, but every once upon a magical, I’ll throw in some stock-ish type photography and post something professional-sounding.
