New Hire Spotlight: Ryan Waszczuk

 

Welcome to Storage Solutions, Ryan Waszczuk!

Ryan was born in New England and of predominantly Polish heritage. Ryan attended college in Keene, New Hampshire, which, fun fact, is where they filmed the original Jumanji movie! After graduating college in three years, he moved to Indiana from New England to primarily work for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and J.C. Hart Company. As an assistant property manager for J.C. Hart Company, he focused on marketing for Lakeside Apartments of Carmel. With this community, he led a program that awarded his community top 100 in the nation by ApartmentRatings.com for the last 8 of their reports (Top 150 in the country for the previous 11 reports) along with a few other annual awards. The company later awarded him for the time he invested in marketing classes and certifications. Throughout his tenure with J.C. Hart, he also volunteered to assist the company’s marketing department, in which he took photos, filmed and edited training videos, recorded virtual tours, created social media ads, and designed leasing booklets and other marketing materials.

Ryan enjoys playing pickup soccer with a group of other dads most weekends and league ice hockey whenever he has the chance. He also enjoys kayaking, nature walks, and landscape photography. His top life highlights include his wedding, the birth of his children, visiting family in Toronto, and going to a Red Sox v. Blue Jays game in which David Ortiz threw him a baseball during his first year with the Red Sox!

In five years, Ryan has a personal goal to fully understand marketing as a whole. While he is always excited about projects in graphic design, videography, and photography, he feels it is important to understand all the disciplines in the field to provide his best work. Therefore, when he provides his work, opinions, and or solutions, it is built on additional layers of depth he had accounted for. At this moment, Ryan discovered this industry that was always present in our day-to-day lives, but he had never come to realize existed. Solutions for storage and the optimization of storage are important in every industry.

What are you most excited about working at Storage Solutions?

“I am incredibly excited to do what I love, with a community of professionals that share the same core values as I do.”
