Drinking & Thinking with

Ryan Companies

Last week our y|GEN members joined us for an informative Drink & Think session with President of West Region at Ryan Companies, Mike Mahoney and Director of Land Acquisition for Ryan Companies Adam Pevney. Thank you to our very our y|GEN Vice Chair, Alex Baracchini of Ryan Companies for moderating the conversation for the evening. It was such a great conversation, a handful of attendees even stayed 1 hour past the event end time to ask more questions to our speakers!

One Mic, All Laughs

Many y|GEN members did some networking LAUGHTERx, hosted by Your Home Loan Surgeons including our very own Brandon Goldberg (2025 y|GEN Board Member). It was a great chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy some much needed comedy with other industry professionals!
