[edit] Biography
When not in the ring, McGivern works for the U.S. Army as a civilian general engineer at Rock Island, Illinois.
McGivern was involved in many activities at the University of Iowa, including Air Force ROTC and campus ministries, receiving a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. But mixed martial arts always retained a pull on his attentions, and his competitive juices led him to more serious training and eventually a spot on Miletich’s squad.
McGivern lists his interests as snowboarding, reading, writing fantasy adventure stories, and dancing.
[edit] Personal life
Ryan got married instead of fighting in the semi-finals of the 2007 IFL season.[1]
