After practicing law for a period of time, David got involved in real estate development and construction in northwest Houston and built several hundred homes over the years and developed various properties. He has been involved in numerous real estate developments and housing developments in Harris, Waller, and Austin counties. Approximately five years ago, after spending time in residential and commercial construction, he founded RCOT Construction and Ranch Country Custom Homes.

Stephen Cryan, Vice President
Stephen was born and raised in Sealy. After attending Sealy High School, he attended the University of Texas in Austin where he earned a degree in business management in 1998. Shortly thereafter, Stephen started a successful service and transport company. In the summer of 2005, Stephen sold that business to join his family in running Ranch Country. Growing up in Sealy has taught him that bad news and gossip travels extremely fast, so a company cannot afford to cut any corners. It is extremely important that Ranch Country do things right to earn and maintain a good reputation through word of mouth and through the product they build. Stephen loves being involved in the home building business in his hometown and loves the small town atmosphere.

Denver Beatty, Project Manager
Denver majored in chemistry in college, but like many college graduates, he chose a career path completely unrelated to his major. Now, after over 33 years of experience in the home building industry, he knows the ins and outs of home construction. Denver has been with Ranch Country since 2005. He is responsible for overseeing material take-offs, purchasing, quality and cost control, and budgeting. He loves working with everyone at Ranch Country, and since he has built so many homes, he brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to the table. Not only that, his humor and antics keep everyone at the office laughing.
