In his new role, Ryan will collaborate with the client services team, North leadership and ecological restoration leads to develop and execute a regional growth strategy and build SWCA’s brand within the ecological restoration sphere.
Ryan hails from Purdue University’s Natural Resources and Environmental Science Program and began his career as a restoration ecologist in 2001 with a small environmental consulting firm based in northern Indiana.
