I am Ryan Du, an avid member of FRC 5427 Steel Talons, and an active member of Scouts of America. After realizing how much the community that I have grown up in and lived in my entire life, I realized how much I owe to the community. As VP of events, I plan on doing as much as I can to organize events in order to give back to the community and help others experience what I had the opportunity to do.
