Building, A Family History

Ken George Construction Company

Ryan's grandfather, Ken George, built his first home in the 1950's.  Over the next 40 years he would build hundreds of homes and apartments, and develop several neighborhoods in Louisville.


Ryan has many fond childhood memories of sitting next to his grandfather's desk, learning about the homebuilding business.  After his retirement, Ken gave Ryan that desk.  To this day, Ryan works at his grandfather's desk at the Unbridled Homes' office.

Jack Band Builder, Inc.

Ryan's father, Jack Band, moved from Atlantic City, NJ to attend Eastern Kentucky University in the 1970's.  After graduating, he started Jack Band Builder, Inc.  Over the next 45 years, he built a reputation as a custom homebuilder who always treated people fairly, and who took a tremendous amount of pride in the quality of the homes he built.


Throughout his career, Jack was very involved in the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville.  He served on several committees and on the Board of Directors.

The 1990's

Throughout high school, Ryan spent the summers working with trim carpenters, painters, framers and for his father's homebuilding company.  It was during these years that he learned the importance of working with top quality materials and honest, hardworking trade partners.  He realized the importance of trade partners that take pride in the quality of their work, just as his father took pride in the quality of his finished homes.

The Early 2000's

After graduating high school, Ryan spent his summers home from college working as a superintendent for his father's company.  Eventually, he would follow in the family tradition of starting his own homebuilding company.  He learned many lessons working alongside his father during those years; the most important of which is to be honest and fair with everyone you meet.  Observing how his father worked with his clients led to the Unbridled Homes core value of providing a Gold Standard experience for each client.

The Future

Today, Ryan enjoys taking his daughters to visit the homes Unbridled Homes builds, just has his grandfather and father did when he was a child.  He knows that regardless of the career paths they take when they grow older, passing on those lessons of treating people fairly and always doing the right thing will serve them well.
