Prior to Ryan’s success in real estate, he built a foundation in business after obtaining a degree in business administration with an emphasis in Marketing.

This would shape Ryan as a person, an entrepreneur, and eventually as a real estate professional. He met Kent Phippen during his lengthy tenure in the event industry, and there they created a deep and lasting friendship and respect for one another. In the summer of 2016, Ryan started his career in real estate sales as a solo agent. During his first year, he closed an amazing 24 deals (18 deals over the average agent) and was named Rookie of the Year for Keller Williams in Northern Utah. In 2017 Kent joined him, and together they began to build the foundation for their own brokerage. Now entering his seventh year as an agent and sixth year partnered with Kent Phippen, Ryan has built a client base that is 100% referral-based. Prior to their merge with Summit SIR, MTN & MAIN Real Estate quickly became a top 20% brokerage in Northern Utah—with both founders being named a ‘Top 250’ agent in Northern Utah, helping hundreds of clients while selling over $100 Million in real estate.
Ryan’s not just a real estate professional, but is a lover of his family, friends and the great outdoors. When he is not working with clients, he loves spending time with his three adorable daughters and his beautiful wife, RaShae. Together they enjoy outdoor adventures and cruising in their 1971 VW bus. In his free time, you can find Ryan enjoying all that Utah has to offer while out trail running, biking, fly fishing on the local rivers, or at one of Utah’s many ski resorts.
