TerraFirma Foundation Systems

Ryan is a sixth generation Oregonian and third generation entrepreneur in the construction industry. With a family heritage in agriculture, ranching and mineral resources, Ryan was raised on a sheep, cattle, and horse ranch just North of Roseburg, Oregon. His grandfather, Phil Beckley, was principal and partner in Beckley and Thomas Rock Productions - a firm started in Elkton, Oregon in the late 1930's, later becoming one of the largest aggregate suppliers in Southern Oregon.After serving a tour in Vietnam, Ryan's father, Tom Beckley started a rock crushing and road building business in Southern Oregon.

On March 5th of 2000, at the early age of 24, Ryan Beckley started his first company, Beckley Excavation and Utility, which quickly positioned itself as a significant player in the civic construction industry. In only five short years, the success of the excavation business led Ryan to diversify into rock quarry operations, real estate development, and a fledgling foundation repair company that he named TerraFirma.

The impetus for starting TerraFirma was Ryan's very first home - A beautiful home in a great neighborhood for sale at what seemed to be well below market value. Ryan later found that this was due to a foundation settlement issue, making the home incredibly hard to sell despite its great location and repeated renovation attempts by the current owner.

True to Ryan's tenacious nature - Ryan decided he could find a way to fix it, and purchased the home. After extensive research and education on deep foundation repairs, it became apparent to Ryan that the entire Northwest was in dire need of the same services and solutions he sought.

In March of 2005, TerraFirma was created and has since become the industry leader in structural stabilization, waterproofing, and humidity control. With office locations in Oregon and Washington, and by far the largest and best-trained workforce in the industry, TerraFirma's growth has been staggering.

Today, TerraFirma is Ryan's only professional focus. Ryan instills a culture of excellence in all parts of TerraFirma, putting great culture and an amazing customer experience at the top of the list. After being named in the Portland Business Journal's "Fastest Growing Companies" and The Oregonian's "Top Workplaces in Oregon," the future for TerraFirms keeps getting brighter and brighter.

On the personal side, Ryan enjoys any activity involving his two sons and the great outdoors. Boating, fishing, golf, motorcycles, traveling through the Baja in Mexico as well as just being out in nature are top on his list. Ryan is also very active in several community, civic and professional organizations - including former President and ongoing longtime board member for the Community Cancer Center in Roseburg, and an active member of the Oregon Evergreen Chapter of Young Presidents Organization International.

Ryan has been with TerraFirma since 2007 and is a trained and certified Foundation and Basement Waterproofing Specialist with training through Foundation Supportworks International and Basement Systems.

He's been in the building industry for over 20 years and has helped thousands of homes with both their foundation issues and water problems.

Ryan now oversees and leads our System Design Specialists operating in the south region of our service area. He works with other departments to ensure quality of our work and good communication flow.

"My goal is to provide an extraordinary experience for our customers, co-workers, and community," Ryan says.

In his spare time, he enjoys working on old cars, camping, golfing, and watching the Oregon Ducks. However, nothing beats hanging out with his wife and two sons.
