Ryan Heppel, Staff Writer
Hello my name is Ryan Heppel. I'm a staff writer for the Mesa Press. This is my first semester in college but my second on a newspaper staff. Prior to attending college, I was a Marine for five years and learned much about the power that journalists. I've written on and off for about 10 years, so writing has been a big part of my life. You can find my other work online (caution: NSFW). When I graduate, I intend on finding a way to make my writing marketable. When I'm not writing or attending class I enjoy reading, working out and spending as much time as possible with my beautiful girlfriend. I am currently working for a moving company and as a promoter for a nightclub.
