Team Ryan Automotive's Own, Dan Ryan Named 40 Under 40 By Georgia Trend Magazine

When Dan Ryan founded Team Ryan Automotive in 2015, he trusted that customers wanted what he would want in a mechanic. “All we have to do is be honest, fix what needs to be fixed, talk to our customers, inform and educate,” he says. “When you do those things, taking care of your customers, it promotes the type of relationships you want.”

Turns out, he was right. The company has grown 30 percent to 40 percent in sales each year. Team Ryan Automotive is the only ASE Blue Seal of Excellence-recognized shop in Hall County and North Gwinnett.

He and his wife and business partner, Shara, are ardent supporters of the local Kiwanis and promote environmental causes through their business, too, even recycling oil from vehicles and oil filters to heat the shop in the winter.

For 22 years, Georgia Trend has celebrated the state’s rising stars under the age of 40. We’ve continued to watch as they advanced in their careers, achieved much success and positively influenced the lives of other Georgians.

This year’s group of inspiring young leaders represents government, small and large businesses, nonprofits, education, healthcare, banking and professional sports. They were nominated by readers throughout the state who know them well. From more than 300 nominations, the Georgia Trend staff made the final selections. We’re proud to share their stories.
