Although Ryan’s primary love is for the law, he has always also been an entrepreneur and business person at heart. In February of 2014, Ryan started the law firm of Beckman Schmalzle PLC with Spencer S. Beckman.

Being a principal of Beckman Schmalzle PLC not only affords Ryan the opportunity to work directly with his clients on solving their legal issues, but also allows Ryan to control his practice environment.
