One of the things we look ahead to essentially the most when a new season of The Bachelor or Bachelorette rolls round is the sometimes-ridiculous job titles of the women and men competing for the lead’s heart.

Among the 30 guys hoping to woo Hannah Brown on Season 15 of The Bachelorette is an unemployed 30-year-old, any person who is going by means of "The Box King," a car bid spotter, and a roller boy. Yep, contestant Ryan Spirko’s ABC bio lists him as a "Roller Boy."

Here’s what you wish to have to know in regards to the 25-year-old before viewers officially meet him on May 13.

What is a Roller Boy?

Based on the 2013 documentary Rollerboy, which follows the occupation of stunt performer Jayson Sutcliffe, a roller boy is simply a roller skater — despite the fact that in Jayson’s case, he’s a global champion one.

This name feels misleading given that we couldn’t to find a unmarried picture of Ryan roller skating on his Instagram, but in keeping with a recent caption — through which he wrote, "Sometimes you just gotta roll with it" — the label might as a substitute seek advice from his adventurous spirit, which is indubitably glaring on social media. 

It looks as if the Pennsylvania native does it all: rock hiking, skiing, surfing, climbing, white water rafting, cycling. He even enjoys walking on tightropes, as evidenced via his many death-defying photos. The risk-taker once traversed a 1" wire over a 300-foot canyon in Utah. Unless Hannah is a big fan of nature, we sadly don’t see Ryan getting a lot of roses from the blonde beauty.

Ryan’s actually a data analyst. 

Believe it or not, the former high school valedictorian does have a real job. According to his ABC bio, "When he isn't spending time outside hiking or rock hiking, he is passionately running as a information analyst to improve healthcare for girls." We like the sound of that!

On his LinkedIn it says that Ryan graduated from Lehigh University in 2016 with a BS in Finance and Economics. He describes himself as a "highly motivated and self-driven person."

How far does Ryan get on The Bachelorette? (SPOILERS)

According to multiple reports, Ryan won’t be appearing on your TV screen for long. The fitness enthusiast allegedly gets eliminated on night 1. There have even been rumors that he was dismissed before the first rose ceremony, though we won’t know for sure until the premiere.

Despite his reportedly short stint as a reality star, Ryan has proudly been promoting his Bachelorette contestant status on Instagram. "What better way to share my ABC bio than over a cup of gelato..." he wrote next an image of himself in Rome. "Thanks for the write-up ABC."

Though he apparently failed to catch Hannah’s attention, Ryan’s friends are rooting for him. In response to his bio, one of his Instagram followers wrote, "They forgot quite a lot of just right stuff, Ryan has an incredible voice and performs nice guitar with that, Ryan likes tickling, Ryan has a just right vibe around him that make[s] other folks wanna take a seat and listen to the foolish silly jokes he makes." It sounds like this girl will have to date him.

Watch Season 15 of The Bachelorette beginning on May Thirteen at Eight p.m. ET on ABC.
