J.B. O’Ryan is a homebuilder, a former banker, a graduate of Brown University and an ex-Marine. He is the author of The Fourth Criterion, The Making of a Marine, and Journey to the Soul – works inspired by real life events, interpretations thereof and the pursuit of truth along the way. O’Ryan is also the proud father of two children who call him the “Yoda of Parenting” – though he has yet to see a single Star Wars film – and an adoring grandfather to four amazing kids.
