Ryan Bloom is a fourth-generation electrical business leader. Taught from a young age by his father David and his uncle Richard, Ryan grew up around the industry but endeavored to do anything but get involved in electrical contracting. Providentially, Ryan did enter the electrical industry upon graduation from Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!) in 2010. He added a master’s in business administration in 2020 from the University of Oklahoma Price College of Business. In his 14 year career, Ryan has rapidly scaled up brand-new operations in NW Oklahoma, South Texas, and North Dakota; successfully launched a standalone entity within the largest publicly traded infrastructure firm in North America, planned and executed the deployment of power infrastructure for Oklahoma’s largest oil & gas producer, and developed oil & gas assets for the largest private-equity backed exploration and production startup in history. Since 2016, Ryan has been the co-founder and Principal – Finance & Administration of Pathfinder. In December 2022, Ryan accepted God’s calling into full time ministry as the Chief Executive Officer of Pathfinder. Ryan is married to the love of his life, Alisha, whose unwavering support has enabled him to succeed in life. They have 4 incredible, world-changing children and are blessed to have amazing extended families and a support network of church community and friends.

Joining Pathfinder in 2023, he is leading a new initiative to equip and empower the Pathfinder team to reach their personal and professional goals. Michael is married to Paige and has six kids. In his spare time, you can find him looking for silence, because that’s very hard to come by with a full house, collecting sports cards, going on the occasional run, and having dance parties to the latest Disney movie soundtrack with his girls.
