Tom's Journey

1. Waltham, Mass.

   Where it started

   Tom grew up in Waltham, Massachusetts. Both of his grandfathers were master carpenters, so the trade runs in the family.

   “I guess it’s in my blood.”

2. 24 years of service

   The fire service

   A lot of Tom’s family served in the military and in public service, and he wanted to help people too. He served 24 years as a firefighter and was named Firefighter of the Year twice, in 2004 and again in 2017.

   “The biggest thing that job taught me is that you have to have compassion for people. When someone lets you into their home, they’re trusting you. I don’t take that lightly.”

   
3. 1999

   Starting Ryan Home Services

   Tom started Ryan Home Services in 1999. Back then it was mostly small carpentry jobs, decks, and repairs. Today it is full kitchens, bathrooms, basements, first floors, and whole homes, and Tom still owns and runs it.

   “I’m proud of what it’s grown to over the years.”

4. Family

   Home life

   When he is not working, Tom is usually fishing with his two sons, out on the boat with friends, or traveling with his family.

   
5. Today

   “I’ve been doing this so long, I just see a space differently. I know how to work with the layout you’ve got, or change it up so you get more storage.”

   Most of Tom’s kitchens are done in 3 to 4 weeks, and most of his work comes from past customers and their neighbors. When you hire Tom, you deal with Tom. If a wall gets opened and there is a problem, he calls you that day, and you figure it out together before going any further.
