27, Project coordinator, Jack Ball Associates Architects
His item: His bicycle. He’s an avid rider and… hey, it’s green not to drive.
Ryan Faust is a member of a new generation of architects that doesn’t see green building as a new thing— they see it as the thing. The LEED AP-accredited professional has worked on a number of big local projects, most notably the new Springfield R-12 Hickory Hills school, as well as green schools in Rogersville, Clinton and Republic.
Ryan is the go-to sustainability guy at Jack Ball’s Springfield offices, providing input at every step, from drawing board to ribbon-cutting. “I think the best thing is we’re a small firm, so I’m allowed to be exposed to everything… where others get pigeonholed into doing a certain thing.”
Outside work, Ryan is an avid cyclist, helping lead a local bike club, the Pedal Group. He’s also the director of the local Young Architects Forum and rides on Jack Ball’s annual MS 150 team, “Hell’s Angles”.
