Ryan Fielding is the Fabrication Shop Manager at Ringbrothers where he has had a massive hand in shaping several of Ringbrothers’ award-winning builds, including the SEMA 2022 Battle of the Builders winner “Enyo.” Ryan is a third-generation fabricator, a car and motorcycle builder, and has over 20 years of experience. Growing up in a hot-rodding family, Ryan learned to drive at the age of 8 and was building cars with his dad by the age of 15. At 23 he founded his own shop, Paragon Customs, where he built several award-winning bespoke choppers. He has done airbrushing and pinstriping artwork, and complete motorcycle and hot rod builds for clients all over the country. From competing in an invitational in Germany to painting goalie masks for NHL teams, Ryan’s skill set is wide and varied. Working at Ringbrothers has elevated Ryan’s passion and allowed for his creativity to be put to use in entirely new ways.

What you hear, is the same Ryan I’ve known since the 90’s and 2000’s. Down to earth, talented and always pushing his art and craft forward.
AI will never replace guys like Ryan. His personality is built into every project. A computer can’t replace that.
Great guy!!! Amazing Talent. Was lucky to have a detail shop next to him. Always some great stories, and help if I ever needed a hand.
