Brian Appleman

Director of Facilities & Grounds

Email

It is a great pleasure to be part of the leadership team at Ripon Area School District.  Since joining the team in 2017, I have seen many positive developments across our school buildings.  Ripon has been special to me because it offers many opportunities for students to reach their full potential. 
 
Background- Bachelor's in Microbiology and a Master's in Organizational Leadership.  In addition, I have earned my WASBO Facilities Manager designation and School Risk Manager License.
