"Dem Bayou Boyz" by Ryan Barbin
"Dem Bayou Boyz" is a literary fiction novel written by Ryan Barbin. The story, based loosely on actual events from Mr. Barbin's childhood experiences, growing up in a small Louisiana town, along with his best friend, Casey Koolrie. "Dem Bayou Boyz" reads like a modern version of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", with it's southern-slang dialect, culture, characters and wild youth antics and growing pains. The story is chocked full of Cajun culture and pop-culture references, humor, sadness, and pure imaginative originality that keeps the reader hanging on until the very end.
This is a book for all readers of any age. It caters towards younger readers, by following the progressive growth of the characters within it's pages. As they mature, the chapter lengths and vocabulary mirror their development, allowing readers to connect and become part of the story themselves, growing up alongside the main characters in their tiny southern town.

Business Proposals
Restaurant Business Concept Proposal:
D's Tots
Business Proposal, Recipes, Logo, Jingle and Commercial Concepts by Ryan Barbin
D's Tots is an original business concept and proposal created by Ryan Barbin. The concept is based around both a food truck and a restaurant business, producing a signature, niche food item created by Ryan Barbin. The original recipe product, "D's Tots" are a gourmet twist on classic side dish, the tater tot. Unlike average tater tots, D's Tots are larger in size and are marketed as a main dish item. D's Tots contain a Pâte á Choux exterior, encasing the tater tot, and seasoned with parmesan cheese. The inside of the tots, are then stuffed with a variety of fillings to create multiple D's Tots Flavors, including; Hot Tots, Sugar Tots, Nacho Tots, Cinnamon Tots, Sour Cream & Onion Tots and more. Aside from the Tots, the business would maintain a simple, "Do one thing. Do it well." business model, only offering drinks and milkshakes in addition to their signature D's Tots.
Ryan Barbin created this business concept, logo, recipes, and proposal; as well as the commercial concept and jingle were written and produced by Ryan Barbin. Ryan is still actively seeking investment opportunities to develop his business concept.

(The tots depicted are not D's Tots. For financial reasons, the video and presentation were done using regular tater tots.)
Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park
(Anaheim/Westminster,CA)
GLOW Lighting Project Proposal
Lighting Proposal and Diagrams
Written & Created by Ryan Barbin
"Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park is a space to move, create and be yourself. And there’s enough room for everyone, so all kids – and kids at heart – can play together. Our vision is a world where everyone plays, every day. Sky Zone is part of CircusTrix, the world’s largest developer, operator, and franchisor of trampoline and active entertainment parks with a network of more than 300 global locations." - Skyzone.com
One of Sky Zone's nighttime attractions is their "GLOW" event, where the house lights are turned off, and replaced by lazers, blacklights, the music of a live DJ, and the neon glow of the the attending "jumpers" in official Sky Zone "GLOW" T-shirts. If you have yet to attend a GLOW night at Sky Zone, you are certainly missing out.
As a former manager of two Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park locations in Southern California (Anaheim / Westminster), Ryan Barbin tended to many duties from scheduling, to payroll, inventory management, customer service, as well as marketing and social media. One of Ryan's initial project proposals came when he realized from his background in entertainment and stage lighting, that many areas of the park were dark, and therefore a safety hazard if the jumpers can not be appropriately illuminated. This was a matter of necessity of more lights, and a light refocusing effort across the park. Ryan created a proposal for this project and presented it to upper management and the park franchise owners, who green-lighted his proposal for immediate action.
