Hi, I'm Ryan Busuttil. I've been hosting since 2018 and I approach it with both genuine pleasure and a strong sense of professionalism. My goal is to create a seamless, welcoming experience for all. As both guest and host, I understand both sides. Like in athletics, I bring a drive to improve, because hosting is about connection, respect, and shared journeys that help us grow.
