The drive for constant improvement, how to be resilient, and the value of community — these are some of Ryan’s life influences from growing up on a farm in North Dakota that guide him in his work today. That influence can be seen in the projects he leads, from large urban medical centers to critical access hospitals and community clinics, where design has a positive impact, bringing long-term identity and pride to the people served by these organizations. Ryan provides overall team leadership, design vision, and results-oriented guidance throughout every project.

“While in college, not only did I learn how to design and construct a building, I also had the privilege of being involved in a number of organizations that taught me how to work with all types of people and develop leadership skills. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when a group is dedicated, focused and engaged! That is exactly why I love working here and with the clients we serve. We are all talented individuals working to enhance our organizations and the communities we live in…and when we work together as team, there is no limit to our success!”
