A former Marine Infantry Officer turned incremental developer, Ryan is a product of the Incremental Development Alliance's training—having attended the very first IncDev workshop in 2015. In 2016, he began the process of transforming several vacant properties in downtown Bryan, TX into a thriving mixed-use development before selling his portfolio in 2023 and re-establishing his company, R+T Studio, in Fort Worth. Ryan brings expertise in construction management, development programming, and the strategy of subdividing large projects into manageable phases—a strategy that allowed him to realize development where others saw only obstacles. His development work is deeply personal, inspired by his military service and driven by a mission to help forgotten communities retrieve their dignity.
