Ryan Balmes
Estimating & Field Assistant

Ryan joined Callahan & Peters in 2014. He has extensive experience in the field working on job sites and in office with his current Estimator role, creating budgets and helping realize the first stage of a project.

“I love how every job is different with its own surprises and opportunities and our ability to improve a client’s daily life for years to come. It matters to me that everyone at Callahan & Peters shares my values and wants to make our clients happy.”

Ryan holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technologies with a concentration in Construction Management from Eastern Illinois University, and he is trained in computer-aided design (CAD), including Chief Architect. He enjoys this industry because it allows him to be both in the field and utilize his skills in the office to create a product, which he can see progress from start to finish.

Now a "retired" college rugby player, Ryan enjoys the outdoors–working on projects, hiking, gardening, wildlife viewing, and fishing. He also likes spending time with close friends and family, including his best bud and former roommate, Miss Vader the Cat.
