Ryan Band

Owner & Director

Ryan comes from a heritage of building dream homes in the Louisville area.  He learned his craft working at his father's business, Jack Band Builder, Inc., and now operates his own business from the same desk his grandfather used while running Ken George Construction Company.  You might say building is in his blood. 


 The Unbridled Experience is a method instilled with his family's values: 

  • Excellent service
  • Prioritizing the client's goals and dreams
  • Building custom, high-quality homes


Ryan loves witnessing the excitement of his clients as they go from dreaming up a home to making that dream a reality. His passion for building is why he’s the Building Industry Association (BIA) of Louisville’s 2024 President. He’s also served for many years on the Board of Directors for both the BIA and the Home Builder’s Association of Kentucky.


When he’s not busy building, you’ll likely catch Ryan with his wife and 2 daughters. Or you might just find him racing his sail boat on the Ohio River.

  Prior to joining Unbridled Homes, Matt had over 17 years of remodeling & construction experience working with Affordable Exteriors. He loves his hands-on job, and strongly rejects the idea of spending all day cooped up in an office. When not on site enjoying his work, you might witness Matt and his wife on one of their motorcycle day trips.

Shawn Collins

Assistant Construction Manager


  Shawn is a recent graduate of Western Kentucky University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Construction Management. He has always had an interest in construction and is eager to continue to learn his craft. On any given game day, you’re likely to catch a glimpse of Shawn and his wife cheering for UofL from the sidelines.
