Ryan hails from Rapid City, S.D. where he learned the value of hard work through his family’s construction business. His family raised him as a skier and that connection brought him to Big Sky in the winter of 1998. A real estate executor in Montana since 2003, he has represented multiple high-end properties in Big Sky and the greater Yellowstone region. In 2012, Ryan was the number one commercial broker in Big Sky and represented some of the highest priced sales. Before co-founding L & K, Ryan gained experience with a number of brokerages where he was a top-producing agent and earned a reputation as a tenacious, informed and trusted entrepreneur. From 2003-2006 he helped bring to market, co-list and sell the largest condominium development in Big Sky’s Meadow Village in more than two decades. Ryan is an 11-year-member of the Big Sky Search and Rescue team and enjoys all facets of the Big Sky lifestyle.
