Owner, Project Design
Ryan graduated from the University of TN-Martin in 2006 with a degree in Animal Science. He spent ten years working full time on the family dairy farm in Santa Fe, TN. Upon the dispersal of the dairy herd in 2017, Ryan was hired by a landscaping company where he spent 6 years learning all facets of landscape, hardscape, lightscape, and other areas in the landscaping profession. He is very quick to thank all those who gave him opportunites to learn and grow within this chosen career. Ryan prides himself on being a people person, “The customers are the reason why I enjoy this occupation.” Ryan credits his parents for being major role models in his life. He is thankful his mom always pushed him to be the most creative and innovative person he could be. He appreciates his dad for always keeping him grounded and encouraging him to “treat people like you want to be treated.” He strives to use these characteristics in every Winding Creek Landscape project.
