Ryan Schuette becomes new divisional vice president for Ewing Outdoor Supply

Ewing Outdoor Supply has appointed Ryan Schuette as the new divisional vice president for the Mountain West Division, effective Sept. 1, 2026. Schuette will succeed Jack York, who was recently named chief financial officer.

Schuette brings more than two decades of dedicated green industry experience to the role, with a proven track record of driving operational excellence, substantial sales growth and cultural transformation, according to the company. Currently, he is Ewing’s Western Territory turf and ornamental sales manager, where he has been instrumental in growing and expanding the agronomic and sports turf sales teams in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Washington. He also has been working closely with Ewing’s procurement and inventory teams in building Ewing agronomic positioning in the western markets.

He joined Ewing in 2023 after a highly successful tenure at SiteOne Landscape Supply, where he held multiple senior leadership roles, including regional agronomic manager, area manager and branch manager. Throughout his career, Schuette has excelled at turning around underperforming markets, expanding gross margins and pioneering best-in-class training experiences for green industry professionals.

“Ryan has a rich history of building teams and highly successful organizations, making him the ideal leader to spearhead the Mountain West Division,” said Bill Snider, Western territory president. “He is widely known for his ‘shepherding’ style of leadership — guiding, coaching and developing his people to reach their highest potential. We are thrilled to welcome him aboard to build upon the strong foundation Jack York has established through great processes and consistent messaging.”

A graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in agribusiness management, Schuette grew up working on his family’s 5,500-acre farm in Elkton, Mich., a thriving operation that remains fully family-run to this day. Schuette is relocating from California to Colorado to assume his new role.
