He's a walking encyclopedia!

Joi Bostic, Licensed Real Estate Instructor

There are very few architects who provide education-translating the technical aspects of design, construction and maintenance into practical lessons for real estate professionals. I only received one negative comment from the 1st time I hired RTA: there wasn't enough time to cover everything the agents wanted to learn from Ryan. He's a 'walking encyclopedia' with great technical knowledge who's learned to build context around his answers to help agents see how one issue affects many others. Ryan's a great resource.

John Peavey, American Institute of Architects

Ryan serves on our National Codes & Standards Committee: about a dozen architects from across the country appointed to provide guidance for the Institute's building code and standards policies. He's served as an invited speaker at multiple local, state and national AIA events, webinars and conferences. It's rare to find a professional with the credentials Ryan has earned and it's even more uncommon to find one who can translate the technical topics he addresses into plain English so his audiences see both practical and potential application.

Ryan is a great presenter!

Mike Barcik, Southface Energy Institute

Ryan is a great presenter, whether he's managing an audience while moderating a panel discussion, chairing a building code development committee meeting or presenting at a conference. He has a great way of figuring out how to communicate a problem, its solutions and their practical application to his audience. He's built an uncommon skill set through training and experience though it's his years of Q&A interaction at all sorts of events that have taught him how to lead his audiences to understand a subject. I recommend Ryan as a nationally recognized speaker and look forward to his continued service in our community.
