Ryan Sutter

Ryan Sutter's name is usually connected with a reality TV show, but before the words "Trista and Ryan" became a household phrase, Ryan was a Vail firefighter who grew up in Fort Collins, played football at the University of Colorado as a walk on and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.   His NFL career didn't last very long, in fact on the field it was just a few seconds of a regular season game and then jumping around to a few teams. Ryan also played in NFL Europe before calling it quits and becoming a firefighter in Vail.   Then the rest of his story began as a friend volunteered his name to be a contestant on a new show called the Bachelorette. He had no interest in being on a reality TV show but went to Los Angeles anyway. Turns out he was the last one standing and marrying Trista in a lavish made-for-TV wedding. Today Ryan is a Denver firefighter, he and Trista are navigating raising two teenagers and are still getting pulled back into reality TV appearances here and there.    Listen to Ryan’s story and conversation with Susie Wargin on the Cut Traded Fired Retired Podcast. To learn more about the host Susie Wargin, visit www.SusieWargin.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
