From his childhood in Penfield, New York, to his current studies in Civil Engineering at Penn State, his journey has been shaped by his academic pursuits, leadership roles, and deep commitment to service.

Ryan's educational journey began at Plank Road North Elementary in Webster, New York, where he attended from first to fifth grade. During these years, he first became interested in technology, mainly by participating in Lego robotics. This early exposure to engineering helped cultivate his curiosity for problem-solving and technical design. Along with his interest in robotics, he was also active in sports such as football, basketball, and baseball, where he developed strong teamwork and leadership skills that would later support his academic and professional endeavors.

Ryan continued his education at McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, where he embraced the school's mission of becoming a "man for others." His leadership and technical skills were recognized when he was selected as the team lead for the McQuaid IgKnighters Robotics Team. In this role, he helped design and build the robot’s climbing mechanism, which helped the team win the “Excellence in Engineering” award. He also worked with the school’s CNC Mill, creating precise parts for their robot using materials like aluminum and steel. This hands-on experience deepened his understanding of engineering principles and gave him practical experience in advanced manufacturing.

Ian Schenkel Haliburton

Ian Schenkel Haliburton

Ian Schenkel of Newport Beach is a mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur with more than thirty years of experience in the food industry. Based in Newport Beach, California, he has built a career that brings together technical expertise and business knowledge. Over the years, his work has spanned machinery design, large-scale food manufacturing, private labeling, and product development. He is best known as the founder of a food manufacturing company that has remained successful for more than three decades despite the many challenges of a competitive marketplace.

His career began with a degree in mechanical engineering, which gave him the ability to understand systems and find ways to improve them. In the early part of his professional life, he focused on designing and building machinery, skills that later became essential when he moved into food production. Unlike many who start businesses with only a marketing idea, he entered the industry with a technical foundation. Ian Schenkel Haliburton understood the importance of reliable equipment and how small efficiencies in production could build into meaningful results over time.

Before starting his own company, he worked in several parts of the food business. Through private labeling, he gained an understanding of how to maintain brand identity while meeting the demands of large-scale production. Schenkel also developed expertise in specialized areas such as frozen vegetables and fire roasting. When he decided to establish his own company, he knew the risks involved. Margins were often tight, supply chains were complex, and consumer preferences shifted quickly. Still, he focused on creating a business model that could adapt while remaining committed to quality.

That approach shaped the long-term success of the company. It expanded into new opportunities, refined operations, and built a reputation for consistency. His leadership has always centered on key principles: quality control, efficiency in operations, adaptability, and team development. Ian has invested in training and worked to build a culture where employees feel valued, believing that the strength of the company rests with its people.

His leadership style reflects a balance of technical knowledge and strategic vision. He uses both data and long experience while also listening to his team and keeping attention on long-term goals. Outside of business, he enjoys boating and golf, both of which require patience and adaptability. His connection to Haliburton also provides balance and perspective away from daily responsibilities.

Over more than three decades, he has seen shifts in markets, consumer behavior, and technology. What he has learned is that lasting success comes not from one breakthrough but from consistent improvements made over time. With 33 years in business, his company stands as proof of endurance, adaptability, and trust built with employees, partners, and customers. From his early years as an engineer to his long-standing role as an entrepreneur, Ian Schenkel continues to demonstrate that quality, efficiency, and persistence are the foundation of lasting success.
