Boating, Biking, Yoga and Stand Up Paddleboarding.  Maybe even in that order?  Let’s face facts -- I love salt water and being outdoors.  It is an endless source of joy, happiness and delight.

Ryan currently serves as VP of Marketing for TempExperts.  With the successful founding of his own company in 2014. Ryan was one of the first people to explore and build out the now highly popular discipline of Revenue Operations.  In 2020, after divesting his interest in the company he founded, Ryan decided to concentrate his affections to the fields of marketing and sales enablement and expand his expertise in those specific areas.  This is how he serves TempExperts today.  Ryan has trained extensively in negotiation, studying in the Harvard University Program on Negotiation. 

Ryan is an advocate of doing everything with the highest quality, whenever possible.  He is mindful however that “the best is sometimes the enemy of the good.” Being told “no” or that something cannot be done offers a continuous challenge Ryan loves to undertake -- to see for himself if whatever is in debate can be accomplished.  He applies these core beliefs to recreational activities as well, whether it be hiking, making craft cocktails and/or his cooking.  Ryan considers all endeavors a wellspring of learning for him.

What is an unusual place that you would recommend that people get out and visit?

It can be a little bit of a dangerous undertaking, but one of the most amazing and adventurous experiences I have had was climbing Mount Washington (New Hampshire) in the winter.  Believe it or not, this is where teams endeavoring to climb Mount Everest go to train, despite it only being 6,288 feet high.  But if you ever want to experience otherworldly weather conditions close to home, this is the place to go.

What are some of your favorite quotes?

Most of my favorites are from my same favorite author – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Here are two very good ones.

“The world is full of obvious things which nobody, by any chance, ever observes.”  -- Sherlock Holmes

“It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people, without possessing genius, have a remarkable power for stimulating it.”   -- Sherlock Holmes

What is your favorite word in the English language?

I have two.  Order and Observe.  I realize that is probably an uncommon word choice.  But they offer immeasurable and beneficial lessons. You can have everything you need to accomplish a project or objective but if you undertake things in the wrong order, you often get a less than optimal result.  I have found this is especially true in cooking.  I spend a lot of time thinking about the right order to tackle an objective.  And I have found observation Is better thought of as a choice rather than a skill.

What is one historical event you would like to witness

Witnessing the birth of my first child is something that would mean a great deal to me.  At the time, I was in basic training for the U.S. Army, so I could not be present for this great event.   So that would be the one.

Edward chooses to work in the staffing industry to help people.

Edward holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the Southern Illinois University – College of Business and Analytics.  He enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking his dog Ranger, golf and bowling.

What sports team brings you joy?

The Chicago Bears.  As a youngster, I was able to witness the 1985 Bears team dominate the NFL. As a Chicagoan, to FINALLY witness the Bears win a Super Bowl was amazing… and to boot, watching Walter Payton was such a joy. Walter Payton was that rare talent that possessed so much more than agility, speed, and strength – he possessed a work ethic that was second to none and a level of determination that was undeniable.

What are two of your favorite quotes?

“Family is not an important thing, it’s everything” – Michael J. Fox

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”  – Albert Schweitzer

What historic event would you love to witness?

If I could go back and witness a historic event, I would want to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  This pivotal moment marked the birth of the United States  and laid the foundation for democratic governance and individual liberties, of which I am a huge fan.
