MEET RYAN
Councilman, Former Planning Commissioner, Business Owner, Public Works Engineer, Father and Husband committed to ensuring Tustin families and businesses can thrive.
My Commitment to
Tustin
I love Tustin. Its combination of history and character is incredibly special. It is the reason my wife and I chose Tustin to raise our kids. We love to spend time hiking, running and exploring local restaurants and shops. Visiting Old Town is one of our favorite activities and it is where the City’s history is most on display.
Serving on City Council is personal because I know the future of Tustin is my children’s future and it will be set by today’s leaders. I am committed to ensuring the City’s future is one where all of our residents can thrive. I have been relentlessly working toward the goal of improving our future and quality of life as your current Tustin City Councilman and previously as a Tustin Planning Commissioner, and am now asking for your vote to continue my work as your Tustin City Council District 4 representative.
I am seeking your vote not only because I am passionate about improving the City, but because I have the experience to get the job done!
A PROVEN
LEADER
In 2019, Ryan was listed as one of the top 20 engineers in the County under 40 by Engineering News-Record for his leadership. He has been chosen as a leader in every organization he has joined. He is the current Chairman of the Board for Orange County Sanitation District, which serves a population of 2.6 million in central and northwest Orange County. He also served as President of local chapters of Orange County Water Association, Association of Water Agencies, American Public Works Association and American Society of Civil Engineers.
Ryan is the owner of a civil and environmental engineering firm and previously served as Vice President of a nationwide engineering firm and Associate Vice President for a Fortune 500 global engineering firm.
Previous to being elected to City Council, he served as a Commissioner on the City of Tustin Planning Commission. As a Commissioner, he was an active and vocal advocate for smart growth and responsible development and continues to be committed to retaining the City’s unique character and working with residents and local businesses to leverage our strengths and make Tustin even better.
COMMUNITY-FOCUSED
As a registered Civil Engineer, Ryan has dedicated his career to ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of water supply to communities across Southern California. His ability to collaborate and deliver on promises stems from my experience working with over 30 public agencies in Southern California on public works projects totaling more than $500M in value.
TRANSPARENT & FAIR
Ryan’s experience on Planning Commission and Council has taught him that while we all want what is best for Tustin, there is sometimes disagreement on how we get there. Ryan has always listened and strived to understand all viewpoints before making a decision on both Planning Commission and Tustin City Council.
