Ralph S. Tyler serves as the Chairman of the Board of R.C.T. Engineering, Inc. (RCT).  Trained in law, he focuses on business development and operations management for the firm, and is one of the most respected business and civic leaders in the country.  Prior to joining his father at Ralph Tyler Companies, he served as Executive Director of the Greater Cleveland Roundtable, one of the city’s preeminent civic organizations composed of business, political, educational and religious leaders.  During his tenure, Mr. Tyler coordinated the group's activities in education, labor management, race relations and minority economic development, enabling the Roundtable to help create public and private partnerships, which continue to contribute to the tremendous resurgence that Cleveland has enjoyed in recent years.

Mr. Tyler’s professional experience includes executive positions in major multi-national corporations.  His responsibilities ranged from management of state government relations to oversight of legal and regulatory matters.  His background in business, civic, legal and political leadership, plus the fundamental values learned from his father, positions him to lead RCT in the 21^st century.  This understanding helps him to work closely with clients in assessing their needs.

With $3,000,000 in annual sales, Mr. Tyler develops finance, human resources, marketing, business development and operating strategies for this full service project management, engineering and construction industry firm.
