Ryan Tyrrell previously built and operated Super Speed Wash in Middle Tennessee, helping grow the business into a 12-location platform over more than a decade before its acquisition by Mister Car Wash.
That experience helped shape his practical approach to operations, service, leadership, construction management and local brand growth across Nashville and the broader Middle Tennessee market.
“The Super Speed Wash management team did an amazing job building a great business,” Mister Car Wash CEO John Lai said in a news release, “and we’re honored to be acquiring a quality company with a ton of upside potential.”

Ryan Tyrrell later shifted part of his entrepreneurial focus toward the sports and media space through Rabble, a Nashville-based startup designed to help fans connect with one another around live games and team communities.
The concept behind Rabble was simple: sports fans want to find each other, share the experience, and participate in the conversation in real time. The product was built around that demand, offering a more interactive and community-driven way for fans to engage.
