MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Ryan Johnson

Ryan Johnson is the founder of Great State Builders, a Houston-based residential development and construction company focused on small multifamily and single-family projects.

Before real estate, Ryan worked as a CRNA — a background that shaped his approach to building: disciplined preparation, attention to detail, and respect for process. That mindset now carries through every project, from planning and construction to final delivery.

Ryan began developing small multifamily projects in 2019 and remains directly involved in each build. Today, his focus is on executing durable residential projects with clear standards, hands-on oversight, and long-term value in mind.
