About

Welcome Everyone!

My name is Ryan and I was born and raised in Massachusetts! I am a husband, father of three wonderful boys, and a Marine Officer. 

I have always been a fan of Pokémon but only recently busted out the old Vans Shoe Box of cards I had to "show off" to my stepson. Well - he quickly showed my that while my Base Set 2 Charizard was "cool", it wasn't nearly as cool as all 7 of his... so... the "fire" was ignited, and my quest to Rip Them All Began.

I thoroughly enjoy building teams and communities. My hope is one day to take this online community to a local brick-and-mortar store where we can meet on weekdays and weeknights to swap stories over some card games. For now, welcome to SaplingSix.com! 

 

What is SaplingSix?

Sapling is defined as a "infant tree".

My Military Occupational Specialty is Infantry (see what I did?)

When refering to military callsigns in the Marine Corps, "Six" is designated for the Commanding Officer of that unit.

Previous Callsigns include Palerider 6 and Cerberus 6.
