Gratitude

In addition to Dr. Richard, Ryan has high gratitude for former employers and current colleagues including associates at Woodard and Curran, especially Jason Muche who believed in him as a young inexperienced wastewater operator, Microbial Discovery Group, and Midwest Contract Operations. An extra special thank you to Midwest Contract Operations and president Paul Much for support in balancing operator responsibilities while also allowing growth to advance to a full time consulting role.

Along with Dr. David Jenkins (rest in eternal peace) and with support from Glenn Daigger textbooks such as the Manual on the Causes and Control of Activated Sludge Bulking, Foaming, and Other Solids Separation Problems 3rd Edition (2004) have been broadly recognized as the gold standard for wastewater microbiology over previous generations. Most importantly Ryan is the proud husband to wife Brittany, father to Noelle and Isaiah, and "pack leader" to dogs Rudy (a terrier who at the time of writing is 16 years old and not long for this world) and Tucker, a rescued red heeler mix.
