Jimmy Ryser's rise to fame came with the 1990 hit 'Same Old Look.' He populated that fame again in August of 2002 when he belted out the National Anthem accapella for spectators at the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Jimmy has been playing music since he was 6 years old. This was a source of pain management due to being born with a birth defect called Spina Bifida. He has never forgotten this pain and chose a career that would allow him to help others that deal with a lifetime of pain.
Jimmy graduated top ten from Indiana University, completed a Master's Degree in Counseling from John Carroll University and an internship at Cleveland Clinic Hospital. He now works as an addiction and chronic pain therapist at the Chronic Pain Management Rehabilitation Center at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
