Strellson tie $95 – Strellson belt $148 – A. Christiansen pocket square $45

Name: Ryan  

Occupation:CEO & Executive Chair, Lux & Lumen 

Things I’m passionate about: Film, business – basically, anything that lets me be creative. 

My ideal first date would be:  Something spontaneous – the old dinner, drinks and dancing combo is great, but it’s a bit too safe to be considered ideal.  

People say that I am: Funny, outgoing, kind and intelligent. 

My ideal partner is: Intelligent, confident, compassionate and ambitious. 

Dating deal breakers: Someone who is negative, shallow and mean spirited (doesn’t even need to be directed towards me, but in general). 

I’m not bragging but I: Make my bed every day. 

A talent that may surprise you: I’m an avid snowboarder, surfer and mountain biker. Also, photography/videography and editing are huge passions of mine. 

Three artists you’ll find on my iPod: Kruder & Dorfmeister, Muse, and Kavinsky. 

My dream vacation: Cannes, France 

On weekends you’ll find me: Being productive at my condo OR out with friends being slightly less productive… 

What I put on my burger: The usual suspects (lettuce, tomatoe, etc.), plus some guacamole – because really, who doesn’t like guacamole? 

I was most impressed on a date when: Went on a date recently, and after a few drinks at dinner she insisted we go to late night bingo in the West end of the city instead of out to a nightclub – it was spontaneous, memorable and I can’t remember the last time I’ve had so many laughs. 

In high school I was: Ferris Bueller. 

My guilty indulgence is:  Coffee. 

In my past life I was: A sinner. 

In my next life I’ll be: A saint. 

If my life were a genre of movie it would be: Documentary. 

The actor that should play my life story is: Not sure – Joseph Gordon-Levitt maybe?  

Favourite ice cream flavour: Not a huge ice cream guy, but I guess anything more exciting than vanilla would be OK. 

To relieve stress I: Workout, watch movies, spend  time with family/friends – depening on the severity of the stress, a drink or two might not hurt. 

If I played hooky I’d: Head down to my old stomping grounds in Miami. 

If I found a genie in a bottle my three wishes would be: Naturally my first wish would be for more wishes…the other two would be happiness and health for me, my family and my loved ones.
