Good style to me is whatever makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. Once you accomplish that, nobody can tell you differently,B次元官网网址 says Ryan, asked for his opinion on style.

And his own personal style?

B次元官网网址淥utside of work, I like to keep things casual: fitted jeans, nice sneakers, black T-shirts, a nice timepiece and always my Tom Ford sunglasses.B次元官网网址

Ryan grew up in the Okanagan and played provincial- and premiership-level rugby throughout high school and years afterwards.

B次元官网网址淚 got into real estate because I have the personality for sales and a passion for helping people,B次元官网网址 Ryan says. B次元官网网址淚 also wanted a career that would allow me time to do the things I love, which are hiking, mountain biking, road biking and travelling.B次元官网网址

RyanB次元官网网址檚 work ethic of B次元官网网址渄o not quit until the job is done or let my foot off the gas in the process,B次元官网网址 coupled with a strong problem-solving ability has led to his success.

Asked what are the biggest life lessons he has recently learned, Ryan says: B次元官网网址淏e yourself and get comfortable being alone now and then. The things you can accomplish and enjoy in your own time are immensely empowering. Outside of that, surround yourself with people of a similar mindset and interests, and especially people you consider to be more successful than you. Doing this has driven me to work harder, adopt new skills and keep positive energy throughout life.B次元官网网址
