Name: Ryan Geofferson

Age: 26

Current Residence: ​Sioux City, IA

Occupation: ​Volunteer Suicide Hotline Responder

Personal Claim to Fame: ​It's not so much of a claim to fame as it is something I'm proud of. One time in 2015, I was talking to a man who was actually on the verge of jumping off of a bridge. He made it clear he didn't want to jump, so I simply asked him about his life and his childhood and some good memories, and the people who meant the most to him on an emotional level. Thankfully, the cops got there to help the situation before he had the chance to jump.

Inspiration In Life: Barack Obama, for his hard work and dedication to help the men, women, and children of America with the subjects that matter such as education, emotional strength, and environmental purposes. His policies were perhaps the best for our country at this point, and although he risked his political reputation, he knew it was worth it to keep our country safe.

Hobbies: ​Going out to Clubs, Hanging Out with Friends, Playing Football

Pet Peeves: ​People who take life for granted. There's nothing that could irritate me more than seeing someone who whines and complains about a stubbed toe, or their WiFi being down. Like, cut the crap out, for just 30 seconds! I'm sure your first-world problems are a big problem in whatever neighborhood of Egoville you came from, but considering I deal with people on a daily basis with ACTUAL life problems, such as domestic abuse, or loss of a loved one, people who take the life they have for granted is something that will never fail to agitate me.

3 Words to Describe You: ​Positive, Outgoing, Charming

Survivor Contestant you are most like: ​I recently attended the Survivor: Game Changers ​reunion show, and I believe there's two contestants I'm similar to. Caleb Reynolds & Cirie Fields. Like Caleb, I can be very athletic and likable when I need to be around camp and in the challenges, and I'm not remotely close to being a loafer. Similar to Cirie, we can be easily viewed as something we're not, as she was initially underestimated for being an older woman, and I'm usually receiving shocked faces when I tell people I work for a Suicide hotline, but yet, we can prove the doubters wrong and do our own thing.

Reason for Competing: ​There's not one specific answer. It would be false if I said I wasn't in it for the money, I mean I love $1,000,000 just as much as the next guy, and the money is a motivating factor in coming out here. In addition, I'm an outdoors type-guy, as I was extremely outdoorsy when I was a child, so I want to kind of re-live my childhood, so to speak.

Why will your contestant win? Ryan believes he can win because he has the ability to connect with people ranging from the younger ditzy blonde girl, to the old 70-year old with no game experience. He also has a Master's degree in Psychology, which doesn't make him a Dr., obviously since he doesn't have a doctorate. Ryan believes his skills with dealing with stressful situations will most definitely help him get to the end of the game, and he also is very athletic, thus making it harder initially for his tribe to consider getting rid of him early.
