It’s my absolute pleasure to write this recommendation for Ryan. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Ryan, and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to my team. He is honest, dependable and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive salesman who is always looking out for the clients best interest. His knowledge of the O&G industry and expertise in identifying how to position a clients at our assemblies was a huge advantage to our entire business/network. Along with his undeniable talent, Ryan has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of his team and other colleagues. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Ryan to join any Company. As a dedicated and knowledgeable employee and an all-around great person, I know that he will be a beneficial addition to any organization.

One of a kind. Every day Ryan brought his unique positive attitude, energy, and sales skills to the office without fail. He is a fast learner and a creative salesperson who was a workhorse at our company. He doesn't complain, is always open to suggestions and new ideas, and every day lifts up the whole rest of the sales team and the office with his unfailingly positive energy and great attitude. In the several years I managed Ryan, he never had an 'off' day - he is dependable, a joy to work with, and an intelligent sales person with a great track record of success on difficult events. I would hire him any time and consider him a great asset to the business.
