Before attending the Cabinet & Furniture Making program in 2011, Ryan spent ten years in the tool business, building and selling various tools all over the country. Since graduating, he has owned and operated his own cabinet, furniture, and millwork shop on Cape Cod, Ryan Messier Woodworking. His clients include interior designers, custom home builders, local museums, historic societies, and many others—with work spanning from historic repair and reproductions, to entire custom kitchens, and everything in between. Ryan has also taught for many years as an NBSS Continuing Education instructor, plus serving as a substitute instructor in Cabinet & Furniture Making.
