Ryan can honestly say he is living his dream as a new home builder. A Charlotte native, he spent more than 20 years working for various national home builders before starting RyKar Homes in 2017. With RyKar Homes, Ryan brings a more personal touch to building homes and in working with his clients — something he longed to do before going out on his own. For Ryan, building homes is all about family — his and yours. He’s also committed to doing things right the first time, so your home is ready to go right from the start. Ryan and his wife, Karen (the other half of RyKar Homes), have three teenage children — twin sons and a daughter — plus two Labs. When he’s not hard at work, he loves spending time with his family — including bouncing between the kids’ various activities. And he enjoys finding time to take in some hiking, fishing and camping.
