Program Manager Ryan Karis Retired
Our long-time Program Manager Ryan Karis recently retired. We are very grateful for his expertise and dedication to helping those in need.
Our Program Director Tony Sjogren said, “Ryan truly lived the mission of Rebuilding Together Twin Cities. His heart, passion and skills went into every project he completed. His compassion for our clients and his collaboration with our volunteers will be the hallmark of his time at our organization.”
Armand Peterson of the Honeywell Ramp Team said, “The members of the Honeywell Retiree Ramp Crew hope Ryan has a great retirement, although we suspect he will be much more relaxed now that he does not have to deal with a cantankerous bunch of old fogies who might be a little set in our ways. Tell him to stop by one of our future projects for a visit some time to talk about the good times. Maybe pick up some joist hangars or 5-inch LedgerLoks while he is on the way. Cheers!”
Ryan will be greatly missed. Please join us as we wish him well on this next chapter!
