My name is Ryan Holden. I am a Veteran of the United States Army, 82nd Airborne Division. I have deployed 3 times. A deployment to Haiti for Humanitarian support and disaster relief after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake. A combat deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. A combat deployment to Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn. After completing my military service, I returned to Massachusetts and attended Porter Chester Institute full time for HVAC/R. While attending school full time, I began working in the beverage service industry part time. After graduating, I transitioned into a full-time service technician in the beverage industry. Within two years with the company, I had been promoted from service technician to National Service Director. I held that position for four years and was again promoted, to Director of Company Operations. I held that position for four years. With 10 years of experience, I felt it was time to begin a new journey and begin RIVet Beverage Solutions.

I am a hardworking, dedicated family man with a LARGE family. I adopted my first son and we went on to grow into a family of SEVEN. Yes, you read that correctly. Ten if you count pets. My goal through RIVet Beverage Solutions is to teach my children that anything is possible through hard work and commitment to your craft. To improve their future and be the provider I always promised I would be. To leave them with an established business to do the same for their children. To share in my belief of hard work without shortcuts. To provide a service with options to help businesses of all sizes with quality you can trust.

In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping, gardening, swimming, visiting breweries and doing outdoor movie nights with the family. I am a fan of the Miami Dolphins (don’t hold that against me). I am a nature enthusiast and find comfort and peace of mind in the wilderness. I am a lover of creatures big and small and I am passionate about pet rescue.
