Ryan A. Baker

Division Service Manager

Environmental Products

graduated from Minnesota State University in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, marketing, management and finance.  After college, he moved to Missouri to partner with a childhood friend to open bicycle retail stores in Jefferson City and Columbia, MO. Wanting to be closer to family, he and his family moved to southern Minnesota in 1994 where he began work at Eagle Engineering, a small HVAC systems manufacturer in Welcome, MN. Leaving Eagle Engineering, he accepted a position as division service manager of environmental products at Vermeer in Pella, Iowa in 1997.

Wishing to return to the off-road HVAC industry, he accepted a position as an OEM account manager with Red Dot Corporation in 1998. After working for 22 years at Red Dot both in the OEM sector and lastly as the director of aftermarket sales, Ryan resigned from Red Dot and is currently the VP of sales for Sanz Clima/Kenway Engineering.  I have been a MACS member since 2004, conducting numerous MACS training and EPA section 609 training classes throughout the years.

My hobbies are spending time with family, tending our rural property in southern Minnesota, running, martial arts and study of military history and leadership. I am a three-term board of education member of the local school district, a church elder and also a past member of the Commercial Vehicle Research Council, an HDMA-affiliated group.  I would welcome the opportunity to serve on the MACS board.”
