We put Ryan on the cover of our October 1998 issue, and told how she had revitalized the company founded by her father, Robert Wark, in 1946. Village currently employs 33 and specializes in residential work in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston. The company also operates a 2,000-sq.-ft. showroom.
Pictured alongside Ryan is 4-year-old daughter Maggie, who also figures prominently in “Maggie” refrigerator magnets and “Maggie” dollars, which customers can trade in for services on future calls.
