Ryan Marshall has over 20 years of construction experience, with a specific focus and passion for self-performing mass timber installation. A natural advocate for the material, Ryan's appreciation for biophilia and sustainability aligns seamlessly with his hands-on expertise in mass timber systems, connection detailing, and the precision planning that mass timber demands. 

Ryan served as Lead Superintendent on the Burwell Center for Career Achievement, a three-story, 23,000 square foot building in the center of campus at the University of Denver. The use of mass timber reduced the construction schedule by nearly 20% through early CLT adoption and intensive preconstruction coordination. His experience leading this project not only deepened his technical expertise but also sparked a strong passion for mass timber construction. Ryan's experience extended beyond Colorado when he provided peer review services to PCL's Toronto team on Limberlost Place, a 10-story mass timber building at George Brown College, advising on best practices for self-performing mass timber erection on one of the tallest wood structures of its kind in Ontario. Limberlost Place went on to win ENR's top prize as the 2025 Global Best Project. Currently, Ryan is the Lead Superintendent on the Summit House at Metropolitan State University of Denver, which includes 10 levels of mass timber on a 12-story structure. 

Outside of work, Ryan's connection to construction runs deep. He grew up in a construction-oriented family, shaping both his career path and his values. A Colorado transplant by choice, Ryan fell in love with the state as a teenager and moved to Fort Collins to study Construction Management at Colorado State University, never looking back. His appreciation for place and purpose carries into his work every day. For Ryan, building with mass timber is not just a technical specialty but a reflection of a broader commitment to leaving something meaningful behind for future generations.
