ABOUT US

  • Ryan Knapp

    General Manager

    ryan@gritlandpartners.com

    My passion is creating and building. I enjoy designing and building great and lasting landscapes that complement nature and the clients we serve. I have been in Construction and Landscape for over 25 years and obtained a degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University in 2001.

    I have worked for three landscape companies and and three Commercial Construction Companies over the years, and I want to bring my knowledge and experience to your projects to deliver your dream landscape.

    I love fly fishing, the outdoors, and spending time with my wife Michelle and our Great Dane, Olive. I can’t wait to provide you with exceptional service and help you realize your land improvement dreams.

    I’m very excited to be a part of the G.R.I.T. team! My background is in healthcare and I worked for a decade as a radiologic technologist for a large hospital. Although my experience doesn’t include the vast catalog of construction and landscape projects like my husband Ryan, I bring an unmatched ability to provide the very best customer service and communication with our clients as well as any vendors with whom we do business.

    I am proud of our family-owned business and pleased to introduce you to G.R.I.T.

    In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and caring for my precious Great Dane, Olive. If Olive is sleeping, you’ll find me cooking, reading, or planning our next outdoor/travel shenanigans. It’s a true pleasure to be able to serve this community and we welcome you to come and experience all that G.R.I.T. can do to transform the land of your home or business.

    Being outdoors is where my heart is. I’m an avid off-roader and outdoor enthusiast which is why I love living in Three Forks, putting me so close to so many of the great spots locally and in surrounding areas. My wife Cierra and I are constantly going to the mountains with our dogs to go camping and exploring to find those hidden creeks and remote campsites.

    Originally in the automotive industry and aftermarket tech, I have always had a passion for working outdoors and have dreamt of moving into landscape and owning my own business. I have spent the last few years maintaining and working on landscapes and recently obtained my Certificate in Landscape Management through the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Continuing my training I’m currently working on my Certificate in Turfgrass Management, becoming a Certified Irrigation Specialist, and becoming an ISA Certified Arborist to better serve your needs.

    I am in my element when I am working with people and that is my passion. I’ve worked in the automotive industry working with customers in the past but recently spent the last several years working with children. Very different fields, but the success in both comes from my desire to help people and my creative solutions to problems. I am looking forward to bringing these skills to G.R.I.T. through my coordination with clients, vendors, and the community.

    In my free time, I love spending time with my husband Travis and our three dogs. We love to be outdoors, and we are always searching for our next great adventure. I have an affinity for wildlife and plants, and I am a sucker for a cool rock!

    I am thrilled to be a part of the team and I look forward to new connections and opportunities to make your landscape needs a reality!
