William "Bubba" Ryan started Rytech in the early 1990s based on over 30 years' worth of experience in the restoration industry.

In addition, Mr. Ryan developed a business model that allows for owner-empowered hands-on franchising. The result is Rytech Restoration, a revolutionary and industry-leading water and fire damage and mold remediation service provider that is part of a 60-billion-dollar-plus industry.
