Ryan grew up in Jackson Hole, shaped by its seasons, its people, and the understanding that the strongest places are built through trust, consistency, and care. A native of the valley with over 20 years in the hospitality industry, Ryan blends design, branding, and restaurant operations to create culture-driven spaces rooted in story and place. Every concept is anchored by a central narrative and shaped by the community it serves.

That vision comes to life alongside his wife, Sununta.

Growing up in Bangkok, “Su” discovered her passion for cooking early — learning food as instinct, balance, and connection. As an executive chef, she brings an intuitive, flavor-forward approach to every kitchen she leads, with deep respect for ingredients, process, and the people on both sides of the plate. Together, they opened their first restaurant in 2008, followed by a larger space in 2010 — laying the foundation for a hospitality group built on intention, adaptability, and long-term commitment.

Over the years, their work has grown into a family of connected concepts—Teton Tiger, Teton Thai, Zoo Thai, Mama Su , and TYGR Mart—each shaped by its surroundings and built for the people who live there. Community has always come first: hiring locally, listening closely, and creating spaces that feel familiar and dependable. Ryan leads with structure, story, and design; Sununta with food, flavor, and feel—together building places meant to grow with their communities, not ahead of them.
