RYAN JOHNSTONE
Saskatoon,Canada
Summary
I've spent over 20 years on job sites, from new construction to managing large-scale renovations. Having run my own construction and inspection businesses, I've seen the industry from every angle. I've stayed curious throughout my career, always looking for better building methods, and staying current as the industry changes. Away from work, I'm a big believer in getting outside. Whether I'm fishing, traveling, or just exploring the outdoors, I stay active and curious. I bring that same energy and dedication to my clients and my craft every day.
