Meet Our Team
Ryan Browder - Founder
As a Cal Poly Alumnus, I founded Browder Painting Company over 28 years ago with my wife, Jennifer Browder. We base our company around the core values of providing quality painting that lasts, paired with superior customer service. Our clients’ word-of-mouth referrals are a testament to our goal of making your painting experience as professional and hassle free as possible. By choosing us, the Browder Team is committed to you.
Armando Solis - Project Manager
As a Manager at Browder Painting Company, I am the point-of-contact between our clients and our painters, assisting through the full course of their project. I have over 25 years of experience as a team member at our company, and over 45 years of experience in the trade. Any assistance our clients need, I can provide it!
Nick Nystrom - Project Manager
The Central Coast is full of wonderful people to appreciate and places to adventure. I enjoy spending time with my three kids, exploring our beautiful local areas with friends, and helping to leave a positive impact on the homes our company paints. I like to stay active by running, hiking, biking, surfing, and reading.
Latia Blair - Scheduling
After graduating from Long Beach State University, majoring in Geography, I returned to my hometown here in SLO, beginning my employment with Browder Painting. I handle all of our office functions including billing, receiving payment, and human resources to make sure our company’s internal functions run smoothly.
Dirk Kenyon - Commercial Project Manager
I’m a fourth-generation local San Luis Obispo resident but left for a period after college to run an 8000 square-foot photographic studio in Reno Nevada. Family & friends welcomed me home to SLO 19 years ago, and I became a part of Browder Painting. My attention to detail was a natural fit for estimating painting projects as a project manager.
I love living on the coast and plan to stay! It’s the perfect area to keep hiking with my wife & dogs while continuing to chase the perfect image of me. Living in a small community where you get to see and to talk to clients in the grocery store or walking on the beach is incredibly special. I’m confident in Browder Painting’s ability to treat our community with the utmost care and respect on any job.
Eileen Small - Customer Service Manager
I’m the bubby voice you will hear through the phone! I’ll help to coordinate around your scheduling preferences, decide on paint colors, and prepare for the start of your project. As a native SLO resident, I have a passion for working with people in my community and love to show it by making sure that every client has the best experience with our company. Give us a call, and I’ll make sure your project starts off on the right foot!
Jen Franklin - Scheduling Manager
Once you have made the choice to go with Browder Painting, I will handle the scheduling of your job on the calendar. We can go into detail on any special timing needs like getting that job completed before a key event you may have on your schedule. It’s my goal to assign the painting crew that will best fit your needs for any project and get the job done right.
Jennifer Browder - Owner
After graduating from California Polytechnic University, I married my husband-to-be, Ryan Browder, and together we started Browder Painting Company. Over 28 years later, I am a proud mother of three and co-founder of our ever-growing business on the Central Coast. I take the role of our company’s controller and am an avid tennis player outside of company hours.
