Davis Ryman

 is a contestant from Survivor: Kiritimati.

Profile
Name (Age): Davis Ryman (35)

Tribe Designation:

Current Residence: Reno, Nevada

Occupation: Race Car Driver

Claim to Fame: I balance a great career while raising my two sons, who are 4 and 6 years old. They're way too young to get into racing, but they say they want to follow in my footsteps and that makes me feel very proud as a racer and a father.

Inspiration in Life: My wife Patricia. She is worried when it comes to the high speeds of racing but she knows I'm a professional and always roots me on. She is the best mother my sons could have.

Hobbies: When I’m not racing, I'm watching TV. I never miss an episode of Survivor. Sometimes my sons walk in and say "Hey Dad, I know you can win this show! Get on!" And so, I will.

Pet Peeves: People who come into this show and don't think about the consequences of their actions. Not only is the jury not going to vote for someone they don't like and trust, but everyone watching is going to see how they're acting. I know I'm going to lie when I need to, but I do not want my son's teachers to look at me like I'm some deceiving jerk of a father. I also don't like people who play stupidly though, because that also shows. I will not play that way because my racing sponsors won't support an idiot and I do not want my sons getting bullied later on because "they got a stupid dad".

3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, thoughtful, hopeful

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1.) a FitBit, to count my steps I’ve taken throughout the show, 2.) Another jacket, 3.) A cold beer

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I'd regret not signing up for this. I am a passionate racer but I can do great in athletic challenges without a car. Because like racing, Survivor isn't just about winning, it's also about the person who does it.

‘’’Why you will “Survive” Survivor:’’’ I have the motivation to get me there and the desire to last 39 days to get there. I will miss racing and will miss my family, but I strive to make them proud.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: When I first went into racing, I feared I wouldn't become as great as I was today. I am ready to put myself out there and I know I can get people to like me.
