Jo-Ryan's Bio

Aside from being a sports fan like the rest of your here on b/r, J.R. writes on Women's Professional Soccer and the Los Angeles Sol here on b/r. J.R. is a proud alumnus of Cal State Long Beach, after already earning a couple AA degrees at Long Beach City College. Currently, he is working towards a couple of Master's Degrees at Keller Graduate School of Management at DeVry University.

J.R. follows a number of pro/semi-pro/amateur clubs: Los Angeles Galaxy, Los Angeles Sol, Long Beach State (all teams), Los Angeles Angels, Long Beach Armada, Belmont Shore RFC, Los Angeles Lakers, LA Sparks, Chelsea FC, Melbourne Victory, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Belmont Shore RFC, FC Tokyo, and AFC Wimbledon.

J.R. has been an anime and manga enthusiast since August 1995. He volunteers his time as an Anime Expo (AX) staff member every 4th of July in downtown L.A. He also works for the Long Beach Bar Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of juvenile at-risk youth.

J.R. also wants to remind you that when you comment on his articles, stay on topic and do not talk about anything outside of sports or the topic itself, i.e. politics. There are other forums out there for those topics.

Thank you, and enjoy J.R. Salazar's articles here on Bleacher Report.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!
