My name is Ian Runninger, and I am the second youngest of five kids in my family. My parents are Phil and Cheri Runninger, and then the kids from oldest to youngest are Lindsay, Adam, Noah, Ian (me!), and Matthew. I have always grown up and lived in a small town about ten minutes west of Akron, called Norton. Below is a picture of the Norton High School football stadium and the other side of the town, closer to where I live. When I was just a few years old, my mom became pregnant with Matthew, and they decided to move into a slightly bigger house, so we moved about two minutes north and found a great home that my parents still live in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the years, my family has started to make lives of their own. My sister is married and lives in Smithville, my older brother still currently lives at home but is working full-time, my twin lives in Kent with some friends of his and is figuring out life. I am close to finishing out my degree and looking for a job, and am also about to get married! My youngest brother is living at and attending school at Grove City College. For me, Norton will always be home and a place just filled to the brim of memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
