Ryan grew up in Vermilion, Ohio and served in the Marine Corp before moving to Texas. In 2002, Ryan earned his associates degree in Accounting from Eastfield College. In 2005, he graduated from UT Dallas with bachelors degree in Accounting and Information Systems.
Prior to joining us, Ryan worked with Terry Cummings, our CEO, at Tyco around 2002. Right before Terry left Tyco for Interstate, Ryan left to explore other industries. Once Terry made the decision to start PWRSS, he asked Ryan to join the team in our accounting and finance department. Lucky for us, Ryan joined PWRSS in August of 2018, just 3 short months after PWRSS was founded. Ryan has now helped multiple start-ups get off the ground in multiple industries.
We asked Ryan what it’s like working for PWRSS and this was his response: Employee satisfaction is at the very top of our list of priorities. Every Monday the Executive team meets, and I can’t recall a situation or decision where we didn’t ask how it will affect everyone. I understand that it may not always feel that way to everyone, but there isn’t a person in this company that can’t pick up the phone and call any of us to discuss any issue they are having. I do not recall having that ability in any other place I’ve been employed.
Ryan is also an avid golfer and claims to be a 9 handicap on the golf course right now, but if you watched him play you’d swear it was 15!
