Ryan Makris
“Life is a series of speculative bets. We have to make decisions based on imperfect information and wide ranges of outcomes.”
I walked away from a thriving career in the equipment distribution, rental, and leasing industry. I found success in that industry from sales to executive leadership, but I felt it was time for something bigger.
I’ve spent my life pursuing growth—whether it’s learning how to scale a business, becoming a father, or “nerding out” on one of my many hobbies. Now, I’m bringing that same drive and expertise to the legal industry, helping law firms unlock their potential through strategic marketing and lead generation.
If you’re here, you’re probably looking for someone who understands how to deliver real results. I’m looking forward to showing you how we can take your law firm to the next level.

Outside of work, Ryan is a proud father of two and enjoys playing guitar, skiing, snowboarding, and testing his skills at the poker table.
