Ryan Meagher
Hi! I am Ryan and I am looking forward to adding value to your next piece of media. I am educated as a Chemical Engineer but was drawn back to my family's residential construction company and have been working as our Business Development Manager for the past 5 years. I have a diverse background with everything related to residential construction and have successfully completed many of my own large-scale renovation projects. I am an owner of a short-term rental in Prince Edward County, recently started a non-profit focused on increasing the throughput of affordable housing in Canada, and I am an avid Crossfitter! Looking forward to connecting and seeing how I can help bring my Subject Matter Expertise to your next story!
