The originator of the Panic Manual blog, Ricky comes to us from center of the universe, Toronto. Growing up in the small country town known as Edmonton, Ricky never quite fell at home in the suburban quietness. After hearing the song “Disco 2000” by Pulp when he was 15, Ricky found himself all alone in Edmonton, lost amongst the types that listen to mainstream rock and pop. From that day forth, Ricky hatched himself a magnificent plan to move to be with those who appreciate what he appreciates – good, solid music. However, that plan required money. A University degree later, Ricky was finalize able to realize his dream and moved to Toronto to go to all kinds of awesome shows and meet all kinds of awesome people. A traveler, Ricky has visited many places, including Europe, Australia, Asia and Disneyland all of which has only serve to enrich his life education. Ricky is also a big fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Steelers and Toronto Raptors.
