In-Depth

Birth and Childhood

I was born in the summer of 1998 in Murray, Utah to my parents Ryan Little and Staci Burbidge Little. At the age of 5 we moved to Lehi, Utah and I lived there until I married in 2020. I grew up with one younger brother, Carson, and two younger sisters, Ashlyn and Madi. I attended many different schools before my teen years due to the increase in population of Lehi City. My teens years, however, we spent at Willowcreek Middle School and Lehi High School where I graduated in 2016. I grew up playing sports such as basketball and football.

Adult Life

After graduating high school, I served a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Massachusetts Boston Mission. I served from 2016-2018. Shortly after returning from my mission, I attended Utah Valley University from January 2019 to May 2021. After my time there I transferred to the University of Utah, starting August 2021 to the present. In 2020 I met and married my wife Nicole in Provo, Utah. We currently have two dogs. Our first is a black cockapoo named Winston and he was born on June 20, 2021. Our newest dog is a black goldendoodle named Coach.

Interests and Hobbies

Music

My favorite genre of music is hip-hop/rap and R&B. My favorite artists consist of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Logic, A$AP Rocky, Anderson .Paak, Kid Cudi, Daniel Caesar, Frank Ocean, Nas, Jon Bellion, The Weeknd, Miguel, Mac Miller, SZA, Khalid, Travis Scott, JID, and Tyler, the Creator to name a few.

Sports

I grew up playing sports my whole life but I basketball and football mostly. I started basketball at the age of 5 and football at 10.

I may have grown up in Utah and my family are all Jazz fans, but I grew up a Boston Celtics fan (which is ironic because I ended up serving my church mission in Boston). I've been to a couple of Celtics games in Utah but my dream is to go to a Celtics game in Boston, at TD Garden.

Living in Utah, we don't have a professional football team so college football is bigger here. But the NFL team I cheer for are the New England Patriots. As far as college football goes, a lot of people in Utah are BYU fans but I cheer for the rival school; The University of Utah. But that's not just because that's where I go to school. My dad was the one to raise me as a Utes fan.
