Hello. My name is Ryan Rode. I’m the Interactive Services Manager here at Ashworth College. Our team works together with a collective vision that inspires us every day. This vision is to provide you, the Ashworth Student Community, with an unparalled student experience that will help you reach your personal, educational, and professional goals on your own terms. I find it somewhat awkward to talk about myself, so here is a black and white picture:
I was born in Queens, New York in 1977. I am 29 years old.
I lived most of my youth and adolescent years in Georgia.
I moved to Athens, GA and spent several years there during college. I graduated from the University of Georgia.
One brother. One sister. Both Younger.
I have a brilliant girlfriend named Allison.

Big Picture Life Goals: I would like to be a rich and famous artist.
Something you may not know about me: I’m quite interested in UFOs.
If you had to know one thing about me, I would say:

I do not respect people who attempt to take personal “credit” for “ideas.” Ideas are in the air.
