HNTB’s Ryan Shropshire Honored with Airport Business Magazine “Top 40 Under 40” Award
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) October 02, 2018 -- Ryan Shropshire, PE, was named as a “Top 40 Under 40” award recipient by Airport Business magazine. The annual award recognizes 40 aviation industry professionals under the age of 40 for their academic, professional and community achievements.
Shropshire started his career as an HNTB engineering intern in 2007, working on the Manhattan, Kansas, Regional Airport Master Plan update.

“Ryan’s credentials allow him the ability to understand and implement sustainable design and construction best practices,” said Laddie Irion, HNTB national aviation market sector leader and senior vice president. “Additionally, he always takes time to mentor and support his colleagues to enhance the working experience for everyone.”
