Name: James Ryan

Age: 51

Current Residence: Derry, New Hampshire

Occupation: Mechanic

Personal Claim to Fame: One day, a customer came in, distraught because something was wrong with his car and he needed it fixed pronto because he had to go to some important meeting. Well, all of my fellow employees tried to fix it and none of them could figure out what was wrong with it. Eventually it got to the point where I decided to take a look at it and I immediately saw that the car had a clogged filter and I fixed the problem quickly. Not only was it great seeing the face of the guy who's car I just fixed, but it was also great seeing how all my coworkers felt like complete idiots for not noticing the filter was clogged.

Inspiration in Life: Definitely my mother. After my dad left, she was really the one who did everything around the house for us. She was never afraid of getting down and dirty fixing anything from the kitchen sink to our family car. She made sure each of us was well equipped with the skills we would need to get far in life.

Hobbies: Working on vintage cars, going camping, drinking coffee, and hanging out with my wife and children

Pet Peeves: Anyone who tells impressive stories for the sake of showing off. Don't get me wrong, if someone wants to open up about struggles they've had or a personal story they may want to share I'm cool with that. However, if you start telling me something with the sole purpose of stroking your ego or to try and overshadow someone else, then you'll piss me off.

Three Words to Describe You: Hard-working, Caring, Rational

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I'm a lot like Tom Westman because he was always so calm and collected and he helped provide for his tribe and was well-liked by many of his tribe mates.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: The money! Why else? The money would be a great help to me as it would allow me to be able to help my wife and kids get the life they deserve.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm someone who is always analyzing any situation I'm in and trying to determine what the best course of action is. I plan to use this same thinking while I'm in the game by making sure that any decision I make is going to be the best one for me and choosing a balance between making moves and sticking with my current alliance. I also plan to make social bonds with people so that I can gain allies and have people who will vote for me when they end up on the jury and I sit at the end.
