ABOUT
MEET THE OWNER
Born and raised on Cleveland’s west side in Old Brooklyn, Ryan always knew that being surrounded by a big city presented big dreams. Beginning his journey at Baldwin Wallace University in 2013, Ryan encompasses 10+ years of experience within theatrical carpentry and engineering. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Technical Theatre from Baldwin Wallace, where he worked on numerous performances to ensure that the story was told in its fullest capacity for the audience. Ryan has also worked at Porthouse Theatre through Kent State University in Cuyahoga Falls, where his knowledge and experience was only further strengthened. Even at the beginning of his experiences, he realized that putting the audience first was always the focus, which is all the same as Owner of Guiding Edge Carpentry.
Taking a break from theatre, Ryan now works full time as a Warranty Services Manager for MasTec Renewables out of Fargo, ND, but enjoys using his skills and talents on the side as an outlet from the day-to-day workforce. Ryan has continually completed many projects for family, friends and small businesses, many times just for fun, as the process of creating something from nothing is a true passion of his. Ryan’s client first focus allows for you to be the true “owner” of your vision, as he walks alongside of you to see it through. It has continually been true that Ryan is not in this for the paycheck, but rather building a lifelong relationship with his clients and always ensuring their vision comes true.
