I worked with Ryan in both the inverter lab and resolving field issues on large Utility PV Solar sites. Ryan was always creative in problem solving, aggressively learned new tools and focused on the problems until resolved.

Skip Larson, MBA

My favorite thing about Ryan is that he is always ON. When one speaks with Ryan his passion for what how is doing, what he has done, and what is next on his plate comes through immediately. Nothing seems to be a downer for him. All companies can benefit from people like Ryan who bring a light of positive energy and high level of motivation with a sense of urgency to any project group he is a part of. In a complex business environment the "conquer any task in front of you" energy that Ryan brings is sorely missing too many times.
