From Army service to NEARPEST

A familiar face
A promise to keep

Ryland served overseas in the Army before building NEARPEST with Keegan. The two met in junior high and have been friends ever since.

As a husband and father living in Pinal County, Ryland understands how much the spaces around a home matter. He brings military discipline and follow-through to the work: pay attention, explain the service and take responsibility for the result.

Today, Ryland and Keegan run NEARPEST together from San Tan Valley. Their friendship came first. The company brings their different experiences into the same local service.
