Ryan began his career at Marcus & Millichap, a national brokerage firm specializing in net‑lease transactions across multiple sectors, giving him a ground‑level view of tenant credit, lease structures, and local market dynamics that now informs 101’s disciplined underwriting and structural value focus.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Industrial & Operations Engineering) from the University of Michigan.
