About Ryan:
The Renegade Behind the Build
The Renegade
Behind the Build
“I tattooed my values on my hand: "My Bond." That’s not marketing... that’s how I was raised. It's who I am!”
I didn’t grow up in an office. I grew up on a potato farm in Idaho — the kind of place where the job isn’t done when the clock runs out… it’s done when the work is finished.
From the time I could walk, I was in a tractor. I learned that a handshake matters. That showing up matters. That the work you do when nobody's watching is what defines you.
That mindset carried me through two decades in the excavation world — from running underground gas lines for Dominion Energy, to managing $30M+ utility crews, to being the guy they called when nobody else could figure out how to get the job done.
After 20 years building other people’s companies, I started Renegade Properties — with nothing in my pocket but a fierce drive and a few worn-down machines. Today, we’re known across Salt Lake and Olympus Cove for one thing:
We finish the jobs others walk away from.
I built this company on the same values I was raised with:
My Bond Before Paper — If I shake your hand, we’re locked in.
One Swing at a Time — We don’t cut corners. We carve solutions.
Clean Sites. Real Talk. No Ghosting.
I don’t hide who I am. I’ve got tattoos. I run toward the hard stuff. I speak straight. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter contractors or someone who gives you the lowest bid just to win the job — I’m not your guy.
But if you’re staring down a steep hill, a tight timeline, or a site no one else wants to touch… we’ll show up, clean up, and build it better than you imagined.
