RYAN ZAHORUIKO

General Contractor, Founder of Forest Street Builders

I was very young, but I have fond memories of my parents general contacting the build of our second home. I remember my father digging the trench for the underground electrical service and wiring the house. I remember my mother filling nail holes and staining the pine window and door casings. I didn’t know it at the time, but that experience set the tone for my future work. After graduating from UNH, I initially spent time working in a high tech startup and then later in corporate. I soon realized that building was where I wanted to be.

Having over 20 years in the construction industry, the first 10 years have been spent developing a solid foundation with hands-on installation experience and an understanding of the construction process. I soon realized that planning and project management where the key to delivering real cost savings and quality results. My high tech business startup experience gave me a solid business foundation with the ability to wear many hats.

I currently reside in Maine on the seacoast along the NH border with my wife and daughter.
