Hi, my name is Ryan Bielat (aka DuffMan). I am a 2003 graduate of Saint John’s, with a degree in chemistry. I grew up in Sartell, MN, where I played football and wrestled in high school. My dad is also a Johnnie. We started going to SJU games together when I was in high school. After watching my fair share of Sartell alumni succeed at SJU, I decided to become a Johnnie myself. I played defensive line during the 1999-2002 seasons (with a brief stint as an offensive guard in 2000), and I have been an avid fan since.
Currently, I work as an analytical chemist for a pharmaceutical company in the Twin Cities. I am unmarried, but I will be tying the knot in May of 2008. My fiancée and I live in Crystal, MN. In my spare time, I enjoy fishing, waterskiing, camping, and generally enjoying the outdoors.
