For Arizona State University alum Ryan Moore, connection isn’t just a value; it’s the guiding force behind his mission to help communities rebuild after disasters.
As the president and chief growth officer at ATI Restoration, the nation’s largest family-owned disaster recovery services firm, Moore has been part of the ongoing effort to help communities in the southeastern U.S. recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
“We have a team called NRS, our national response services. We call them the Navy SEALs of restoration,” Moore said. This crew of about 100 experts specializes in complex losses and recovery efforts, bringing vital resources to people in need.
ATI is also deploying emergency response trailers — 52-foot trailers filled with essentials such as water and meals — to hard-hit regions in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and more.
Moore says these efforts, alongside services like water extraction and debris removal, demonstrate the company’s commitment to supporting and connecting with communities during crises. And in a relationship-driven industry, he says those kinds of meaningful connections are essential.
“Going to an institution like ASU, being so large in stature, helped me get out of my comfort zone in socializing,” Moore said, highlighting how his degree in business and communication, as well as his involvement in Greek life, enhanced his leadership abilities.
Active in ASU's Orange County Leadership Council and the ASU Alumni Association’s Sun Devil 100 program, Moore believes these partnerships and programs help promote ASU’s mission to aid people and shape community engagement.
ATI Restoration also prioritizes corporate social responsibility, emphasizing charity and volunteering as a way of connecting with communities.
“Corporate social responsibility starts first and foremost with me and my family. Our core values are ‘ATI cares.’ We care about our employees, we care about our clients, and more importantly, we care about the communities in which we live and work in,” Moore said.
Sounds familiar.
For over seven years, ATI Restoration has been giving back to Ronald McDonald House Charities throughout the U.S. Most recently, the company joined the Children’s Miracle Network, proudly serving over 47 children’s hospitals nationwide.
“I think corporate social responsibility and making a difference in people’s lives truly goes a long way,” Moore said.
