Sales Manager
Youth Soccer Coach | Girl Dad | Weekend Boat Captain
As TAP’s Sales Manager, Ryan has spent more than five years steering the team toward growth and long-term success. He leads with strategy and heart, identifying the right opportunities, equipping his team with the tools they need, and setting a standard of performance that inspires results. His favorite part of the role? Building a culture where winning is celebrated, learning is constant, and everyone rows in the same direction.
Outside the office, Ryan wears a few other titles: devoted husband to wife Sara, proud dad of three daughters (including identical twins, and Yes… he can tell them apart), and loyal Dog dad to Teddy, the family’s Australian Labradoodle. Whether captaining their family boat on the weekends, coaching youth soccer, or mastering a new recipe, he’s happiest when surrounded by family and a little bit of adventure.
When it’s time to unwind, Ryan is equally committed to his role as a Notre Dame football fan, UFC fight enthusiast, and Cincinnati Bengals optimist (emphasis on optimist). He also claims the rare distinction of scoring a hole-in-one despite not being an avid golfer… proof that luck occasionally favors the persistent.
Always up for a challenge, Ryan holds a brown belt in Shaolin-Do Karate, knows how to juggle, and believes life’s too short not to keep learning new skills.
