Ryan is a musician and founding member of the metalcore band Until I Wake. What began as a fan purchasing merchandise soon crossed a dangerous line. The fan became fixated on Ryan, flooding him with messages, changing their last name to match his, claiming they were married, and threatening to travel across the country to wait outside his home. Today, Ryan shares what happens when fandom turns into obsession, how stalking can impact musicians and public figures, and what it's like to continue performing and living his life while facing an active and ongoing stalking threat.
