Ryan Frey
Owner
For over twenty years, Ryan Frey, owner of Saddle Mountain Construction, has been involved in the residential building industry. His first job in the construction field was during high school summers where he began as an apprentice carpenter in rural north central Washington. Upon graduating high school, he began his college career in Spokane, WA, where he worked his way through school at the university maintenance plant and by doing summer construction work. Having received a B.A. degree in English, Ryan decided to return to carpentry by working on variety of residential and commercial projects in Portland and Seattle. Seeking a little more adventure and experience, he joined the Peace Corps in 1997 and spent the next two and a half years designing and building small water systems for villages in the South American country of Bolivia.
Gathering these skills and experience together, Ryan became a licensed General Contractor in northern California beginning in 2000. He spent the next eight years working on custom homes and remodels, until the desire to return to the climate and atmosphere of his youth brought him back north to Missoula. Here he has found a home and started a new construction company called Saddle Mountain Construction.
