Ryan Goodman | Co-Founder

The world lost a loving father, husband, brother, son, grandson and dear friend to many, and while we continue to mourn the loss of this amazing individual, we also want to celebrate the joy he brought to so many people across our organization and community.

Ryan and Kirsten first planted roots in Victoria in 2012 and never looked back. Over the years, Ryan touched the lives of many throughout Victoria; his quirky and authentic nature had a way of bringing people together, often with some memorable and funny stories to commemorate the occasion.

While he wasn’t the one in the public eye, Ryan was the connective tissue between the heart and the soul of Aryze. Ryan’s passion for urbanism and design was only outshone by his passion to make a difference in our city. He leaves a lasting legacy that continues to propel our team forward with purpose.

Our approach at Aryze has always been people-first; we are who we are because of our team, full stop. As we’ve grown over the years, Ryan continued to embody and safeguard this priority, making sure each and every person felt empowered to make a difference in the organization—and our city at large. But we’re also family-first and as we navigate the opportunities that lie ahead we prioritize time with our loved ones, because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
