In 2005 Mr. Ripley joined KONE, Inc. serving as their regional sales manager for the Mid-Atlantic. Under his leadership, he led the development and expansion of their machine room less (MRL) elevator product line through product education and local jurisdictional code approval.  He also coordinated all maintenance and modernization sales activities as well throughout the area inducing expansion into several new markets.
 
Beginning in 2009 he began working with Vertran Enterprises, Ltd. as an elevator and escalator consultant.  His duties have included project management and design of elevator, escalator and moving walk systems, dumbwaiters, material lifts and related equipment.  During Mr. Ripley’s career in the elevator industry, he has had extensive experience in virtually every facet of the business including field work, field supervision, engineering and design applications, business development, contract negotiations, elevator modernization, elevator maintenance and new installations.
