Ryan Van Tricht

CEO, Ryan Van Tricht

Ryan has specialized in business automation for over 12 years, building and scaling systems that help companies run smarter, faster, and with far less friction. Over that time, he has grown both his team and his business to support a wide range of clients—from small businesses to complex, multi-platform operations—by designing automation solutions that streamline marketing, sales, customer service, and internal workflows.

He is an Infusionsoft/Keap Certified Partner, Shopify Partner, Certified Zapier Expert, and ActiveCampaign Certified Consultant. In addition to these certifications, Ryan brings deep hands-on experience across a broad ecosystem of online platforms, CRMs, and integrations, allowing him to design solutions that are both technically sound and practical for real-world use.

Outside of client work, Ryan is just as passionate about his dogs as he is about automation. He actively competes in dog sports with his four-legged teammates, blending structure, training, and problem-solving in a very different – but equally rewarding – arena.

Castiel, a Rottweiler, is highly accomplished across multiple dog sports and holds numerous titles in disciplines including rat sports, agility, and coursing ability. His drive, versatility, and consistency make him a standout competitor.

Kaylee, a German Shepherd, is a naturally instinctive farm dog who thrives in working environments. She loves partnering with her horses, ponies, goats, and chickens, showcasing the intelligence and adaptability that make her an exceptional working companion.
