Kyle Ryan (Associate Editor/Local) has two first names and can never tell if people are simply confused when they call him "Ryan," or if they're one of those last-name users. He grew up in Houston, where he attended an all-male, Jesuit-run high school that quickly turned him into an anti-authoritarian smartass—i.e., someone perfectly suited for a future career at The A.V. Club. At 16, he discovered punk rock and began interviewing bands, and he pretty much hasn't stopped since. After graduating from the University of Missouri-Columbia's journalism school in 1998, he moved to Chicago, where he steadfastly retains his allegiance to the Astros and lives with his wife.
