Our Story

At Builders International, we believe every person deserves a place to belong. We connect generous volunteers and donors with trusted community leaders around the world, and together we build PLACES where people find HOPE!

Ryan graduated with his degree in Civil Engineering from Lamar University and Laci graduated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (early childhood education) from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. While Ryan was in college, the U.S. Navy presented a new program for Civil Engineering students and he felt God was opening a door for the experience he would need for what God had ultimately called them to…construction missions. For the next 6 1/2 years, Ryan served in the Navy as a Civil Engineer Corp Officer.

They began serving with Builders in July 2007. Ryan serves as Director/CEO and Laci is managing editor of the Builders Blog and much of the communication from Builders.
