Hello, my name is Ryan and I’m a 10-time certified Salesforce Consultant passionate about bridging the gap between technology and business. Growing up working in my family’s small business, I gained hands-on experience across many facets of business including project management, sales, marketing, and finance. After graduating college with a B.S. degree in Business Management in 2019 I saw the need to digitize my family’s business and implemented a CRM while overseeing the development of a new website. It was here I witnessed firsthand the transformative impact CRM technology has on business operations. Over the next 3 years I honed my skills in CRM administration and IOT while wearing multiple hats in my family's business. This experience led me to realize that my true calling lay in leveraging technology to drive business growth as this is where my tech skills and business acumen meet.In 2022, I heard about Salesforce for the first time on the Choose FI podcast. I knew right away that this was the career path that was right for me and decided to kickstart my new career in Salesforce by joining the Talent Stacker Salesforce program. During this program I completed multiple Salesforce projects and started earning certifications. In 2023 I started working as a Salesforce Consultant and haven’t looked back! I am continuously looking for ways to level up my career through regular learning and taking on tough challenges. Outside of work I cherish spending time with my family, traveling (especially to National Parks), immersing myself in DIY projects around the house, and practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I'm always eager to connect with like-minded professionals passionate about Salesforce and technology-driven business solutions. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to collaborate and grow together!
