Hello!
Ryan Edward Rock
President of Empire AG
About Me
Ryan Edward Rock started working in construction during high school and joined the United States Army after graduation. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom as an infantryman before returning to civilian life and starting work in commercial construction. It was during this time that he met his wife and started a family of his own. In 2010, Rock founded Empire Ag with the intent of providing contracting services to the agricultural industry. That small company has since grown into one of the leading providers of its kind in Iowa. When he's not working or spending time with family, you can usually find Rock out hunting or fishing—two activities that are central to his Midwestern roots
