Ryan Hamilton, Director of Valencia Green, brings a blend of practical experience and a deep-held commitment to progressive environmental and economic solutions. Ryan served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras from September 1998 to January 2000. Stationed in a remote rural village, he worked alongside the local population to implement sustainable agriculture practices, to reforest and protect community watersheds, and to create alternative means of income through eco-tourism initiatives.

Following this, Ryan relocated to Washington, D.C., and began work for the Environmental Law Institute and, subsequently, the Natural Resources Defense Council. In these roles, he worked as both a policy researcher and public advocate for Clean Air and Water Act protections, land conservation strategies and urban greening campaigns.

Ryan brings this same commitment and energy to the field of green building with Valencia Green.

In addition to more than five years in the California real estate market, Ryan is a Green Building Professional by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), Steering Committee member of the Build it Green Real Estate Council, and participating member of the East Bay Sustainable Business Alliance.

Ryan holds a Bachelor’s in Science degree in Foreign Service, with a concentration in international culture, development and environmental Studies, from Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
