We had the good fortune of connecting with Ryan Rector and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ryan, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
The habits that have helped me succeed are communication, attention to detail, and technical inquisitiveness.

Communication is the key aspect to anything in life. Communicating how the process works, in a personal manner helps the client understand what they are paying for, how the job will be completed, and how their expectations will be met.

Attention to detail is a must! To provide the highest level of spastic action to my clients I have to be attentive to the details . Getting in the cracks and crevices, removing the hidden dirt and grime is what sets the standards.

Finally, knowing everything you can about the products that you use, their applications and results will certainly make the process easier. Knowing how a certain product works will increase productivity, profitability and will always make the client happy with it’s results .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career started as a firefighter in South Carolina. There, I found the passion and pride for clean, shiny vehicles. Many shifts were spent detailing fire trucks, as well as personal trucks . Having a clean vehicle gives a sense of pride to person. After moving to Colorado 5 years ago to start a new career at the Chemical Depot in Pueblo, I lost the time to spend detailing . I always felt like I was missing out on something. I knew two things, first I wanted to be my own boss. Secondly, I wanted to do something that I enjoyed doing. Spending countless hours writing business plans and researching new products and new techniques I decided I would try my hand at taking a passion of detailing vehicles to the public. I offered my services to close friends and family. That was all it took for the fire to spread. My phone started constantly ringing from people asking for my services. It was a bittersweet response. I struggled with juggling family, a full time job, as well as my detailing business. I felt like I was being stretched in 8 different directions with no relief in sight. I sat down with my wife for days trying to figure out the best option , to provide the best results for our family ,as well as our businesses. We decided it was best for us to dive into our business full time . So , that’s what we did, and we haven’t looked back. It had give. The freedom of creating my schedule to provide a service to my clients and my wife and kids that is satisfactory to everyone. Balancing time and managing expectations is key to this lifestyle. Failure is not an option for me. I do my absolute best to provide a quality service to all my clients to make sure that their needs are met, so in return my families needs are met. When people think of automotive detailing I want them to think of PW Mobile Details because I want them to know they will be taken care of with the highest level of professionalism, compassion and attention to detail.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The first stop would be to Grahams grill in Pueblo for chicken wings and a cold beer. The next stop would be anywhere in the mountains for trail riding, fishing and camping. No specific mountain or town. Just being in higher altitude will always make for a better attitude.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There’s many people that I have had the pleasure of guiding me through life . I have learned many valuable lessons ,experiences and words from more people than I could name. However, the one person that has pushed me the most to pursue this dream of entrepreneurship, is my wife Nicole. She is the owner of “Brie & Me charcuterie” here in Pueblo West.
