Bio
Charlie Colvin
Ryan is a great Operation Manager. He demonstrated leadership and boundary-less behavior as a member of the Lean Team, successfully creating a new scheduling process, rearranging material functions, and reducing product cycle time in a 10 acre facility. Ryan has excellent people and team building skills and can inspire a group he leads to produce excellent results.
Kevin Raper
In the past year Ryan has improved upon his skills as a manager. After being promoted to production manager, Ryan had to gain knowledge in all aspects of management. He mastered the production side of the organization after years in the electrical side. He grasped the skills of driving safety, improving the poor standards of quality, becoming a supporter and driver for continuous improvement and finally being the driving force for bringing all aspects of the plant under a team atmosphere. His leadership also changed the mentality and moral of the shop employees, all the while having to do so with an inferior sales staff not supporting sales for the plant. Without his efforts, the moral would not have been sustained due to this pressure. Ryan is an up and coming manager always looking for improvements for his plant and himself. Strongly recommend him as a strong team player for any oranization.
