Brandon joined our Ryan team in 2020 following a long and established career in the Automotive industry selling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram products. Living with his wife of 18 years and four children in Zimmerman, there is nothing Brandon likes to do more away from the dealership than go fishing and boating on the lake with his family and taking their long vacations in Florida every year.
Living a few miles south of the dealership in Maple Lake, Brandon spent many years in the bridge building and roofing industries and is a certified welder. He joined our sales team in October of 2023, feeling that having a job inside, rather than outside was a better long-term idea in Minnesota. Along with his hobbies of weightlifting and dirt biking, Brandon enjoys travelling around the US, experiencing the less frigid parts of the country!
I have lived in the Saint Michael/Albertville area since 1996. After many years in sales & raising 4 kids; I decided it was time to follow a dream get in the auto business, something that had always interested me. After 6 years selling Ford and Chrysler In Elk River, the Ryan family offered me the opportunity to come and join the team in opening up the all-new Ryan Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Monticello. This is allowing me to grow my reach and ability to help a broad base of clients while using technology and tenure to bring your experience to the next level, while still giving my clients the small-town feel. When I'm not at the dealer, I'm spending time finding new roads on the Harley. My wife and I also have our hands full raising our nine-month old German Shepherd, Morgan. She brings lots of excitement to our life from some really great things to a chewed-up shoe once in a while.

In 1955, my father, Robert Ryan Sr. opened his own used vehicle agency in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, operating as Mid Town Motors. In 1965 he was awarded the Rambler and Mercedes Benz franchises and ultimately was able to obtain the Chrysler & Plymouth franchises. In 1966, my dad opened Ryan Motors in Sioux Falls, South Dakota operating as Ryan Motors Chrysler Plymouth. He was awarded Chrysler's "Pacemakers Top 100 Club Award" from Chrysler for multiple years. In 1971, the Ryan family moved to Texas after selling their automobile interests to Henry and David Billion. David and his son are still in business today. We then moved to Houston and operated Midtown Chrysler Plymouth for one year until Katy Road Chrysler Plymouth, Chrysler's flagship facility opened. In 1975, the Ryan family sold out to the Benson family and returned to the Midwest, where most of the 14 children, 22 grandchildren and four great grandchildren reside today. Fifty years later, the Ryan family proudly opened another Chrysler flagship designed facility, for the franchises of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram truck in Buffalo, MN and then soon after, another CDJR dealership in Monticello, MN. I would like to personally thank our customers for sharing their experiences with our company at DealerRater, Google and Cars.com, where we are proud to say that we have over 15,000 public reviews.
Pat, with the last name Ryan, has, of course been in the business since childhood, joining in with the operations side of the family business in 1996.

Kristy joined us in August of 2021 as the Controller for the Ryan group of dealerships. Kristy has been in the automotive industry since 1999 and so brought with her a wealth of experience to the Ryan team. Living in Monticello, she enjoys her time away from the office travelling, or at the lake with her family and her dogs.
