About

Hi, I’m John Ryan Loflin. I’m a hands-on entrepreneur and craftsman blending construction, welding, and artistic sculpture with a practical, problem-solving mindset. I run Rocky Mountain Hemp as owner and lead farmer, and I also steer Loflin Enterprises, delivering custom remodeling, fountain building, and sculpture across Colorado.

My work spans historic home remodeling, barn dismantling for reclaimed materials, and contract farming. I value teamwork, safety, and craftsmanship, and I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into solid, on-budget results while mentoring crews of up to five people.
