OWNER
Ryan learned the fence trade while studying Architecture at Spring Garden College in Philadelphia, PA. His professional career was launched while studying Business Management & Marketing at Millersville University when he formed his own fence installation company in the fertile grounds of Lancaster, PA. With a 10' x 20' barn and a loan from his father, Ryan's fence company rapidly grew to over 35 employees and more than 15 installation crews. His retail and wholesale distribution facility provided services to the public and private sectors.
Continuing to learn trade skills and secrets from his installation company, Ryan took his vast knowledge and launched EZ Mount, Inc., where he built a strong distribution network in domestic and international wholesale and retail channels. His company was the first to market a customizable concrete fence-mounting product. Ryan developed and administered budgets, sales forecasts, and supply-chain models and produced a robust product line through investment and guidance of diligent research and development efforts. Today, EZ Mount, Inc. is still a staple in the fence, deck, and handrail industry and is widely utilized and embraced.
Ryan sold his fence installation company and accepted a position as the director of sales for a PVC fabricator, where he managed and cultivated team performance with direct accountability for bottom-line results across the mid-Atlantic region. He was also tasked with supply-chain oversight, marketing efforts, and product development. He was one of the authors of this company's eco-friendly co-extrusion vinyl line, now called "Green Line." He also spearheaded the company's first wood division, adding a new revenue stream and creating exponential market opportunities.
In 2013, Ryan jumped into a new opportunity in an area where he had little experience, aluminum extrusions. In his newly created position of Regional Sales Manager, Ryan was tasked with cultivating the North East and territory that was currently producing zero dollars in revenue. Within 16 months, his individual territory represented 35% of the company's overall sales. His success was directly attributed to partnerships with major account leadership to launch their aluminum fence division from the ground up in conjunction with restructuring the 12 state region.
Seeking a new challenge and knowing that the industry landscape has changed over the past several years, Ryan brings his vast knowledge as a seasoned veteran to Backyard Works, Inc. having experience on both sides of the fence!

Yes, we offer construction financing options to all of our fence clients through a choice of lenders. You can decide to finance the entire project or just part of it.
We are proud to say that we use all in-house labor for our projects. This means that you will receive the same level of interest and attention to detail on the actual construction of your project as your experience with the design and estimate.
Yes, the high-quality products from our manufacturers often carry specific product warranties, and Backyard Works stands behind our craftsmanship by offering a 3-year workmanship warranty for labor.
Absolutely! You can rest assured that if anything unpredicted does happen to your property due to an accident caused by us we are fully licensed and insured to cover it. The likelihood of this ever happening is slim, but we are prepared if it does.
Absolutely! We will call in for the appropriate utilities to mark any underground public lines on and around the proposed project the week prior to showing up to build your deck. A utility marker will come to your property and detect and mark the lines underground with spray paint and possibly marker flags. We then receive a notification from the utility marker that the property has been marked, which we double-check before showing up for your project. This not only keeps your property safe but protects our field team from potential injury.
