Meet the Team
Fuse3 Solutions is privately and locally owned, and our company, ownership, and employees all reside in Oklahoma. We were founded in 2013 by Ryan Albee and Adam Giddens, business partners and Oklahoma City metro residents who are proud to have been born and raised in our state.
As Oklahoma City family and neighbors, we have a vested interest in the success of the clients and candidates we serve. Since we aren’t publicly-owned or private equity-owned like many of our competitors, we don’t have to answer to shareholders and investors. We take a different approach to staffing, answering to our job seekers and employer clients, and we always focus on doing what is in your best interest.
Meet Our Team
Our team has a true passion for what we do, and we have the perseverance to make it happen. We call this The Grit Factor, and we pride ourselves on finding the best jobs and candidates for all of our job seekers and employer clients.

“We did not wake up to give up”
One thing people don’t know about you?
Contrary to belief, Fuse3 Solutions wasn’t an elaborate plan that was thought-out over a long-term period. I took a leap of faith, Adam and I made some great hires and, luckily, we had some early success that propelled us to where we are today.

What’s the most unexpectedly wonderful compliment anyone has ever paid you?
“You’re seriously such a good daddy” – compliments of my beautiful wife
Favorite quote?
“Do Your Best in Everything You Do” -It’s a simple quote, but a trait that my parents taught me at an early age. It didn’t matter if it was schoolwork, playing a sport, or something as simple as sweeping a sidewalk, always giving my all has proven beneficial. And, when I fail I have no regrets knowing I gave 100%.
If a movie were made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?

What’s something on your bucket list?
Travel Europe. I was born in Germany and lived there as a child (Military brat). I have always wanted to go back and visit the areas where we lived.
Favorite quote?
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
This quote is so true in personal life and especially in the recruiting business. Everybody wants to feel valued and appreciated. How easy is it to smile and say something nice to somebody? You never know how that could change their day/life.

Favorite day of the year?
That’s hard to choose. It’s always been between 4th of July and Halloween. I love both days so much.

I’m So Humble, Life of the Party, Work Hard Play Hard, I Believe in a Thing Called Love, 2 Legit 2 Quit
Favorite quote?
“I’m currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.”
If a movie were made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?
My movie would definitely be a comedy. Maybe a romantic comedy. And I would be honored if Jack Black would play as me.

What’s the most unexpectedly wonderful compliment anyone has ever paid you?
I had a teacher in high school tell me that I was an “acquired taste, that’s a good thing”, meaning I have a big personality and not everyone is going to love me initially, but it leaves more for those that do. This is something I’ve carried with me since I was a teenager. The older you get, you realize that you might not be for everyone, as everyone isn’t for you, but you learn to love yourself for who you are, no matter what anyone else thinks!
Favorite quote?
One of my favorites is: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Though this is a well-known quote, it’s one that was very common in my house growing up. Anytime we failed at anything, my dad would repeat this to us over and over. As you become an adult and learn to navigate your life personally and professionally, this becomes a mindset to live by – if you want to find success, you have to fail, pick yourself up, and try, try again!

Best compliment you’ve ever received:

If you had a superpower, what would it be?
The ability to fly. I could travel anywhere I wanted and would never have to worry about traffic.
What’s your favorite quote?
Though she be but little, she is fierce!
What’s the most unusual thing in your desk drawer?
It would have to be the many bags of Takis I always have stocked and sour candy.
Dogs or Cats?
Dogs over cats, always!

Who’s someone you’d like to meet? (they can be living or dead)
Audrey Hepburn has been a hero of mine ever since I was a little girl. Not only for her beauty and natural talent, but for her advocacy for people across the globe. Audrey encapsulates everything I hope to be. She was kind, graceful, generous and a true humanitarian.
If a movie were made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?
Definitely a 90s or early 00’s inspired rom com. I’m torn on who would play me as I love both Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. However, if I did have to choose, I’d have to go with my dog’s namesake, Julia.

What’s something on your bucket list?
Most of my bucket list involves traveling. I want to spend a few weeks in Italy and do a wine tour. As a bonus, I want to eat a grape right off the vine!
Best gift you’ve ever gotten?
My grandma couldn’t attend my college graduation, but she mailed me her gift. It was an old bible she had been using over the past years. She filled it with notes in the margins, highlighted portions and pieces of paper tucked in between the pages. I love having tid bits of her advice and wisdom at my fingertips.

The #1 thing on my bucket list is to go to Greece! I have always wanted to go since I was little. The scenery and architect there is so beautiful, and it seems so peaceful just looking out over the blue waters.
Cats or Dogs?
Cats for sure! I would take in all the stray cats if I could. I have an orange Maine Coon and he is the biggest baby.
Best gift you’ve ever gotten?
I got Taylor Swift tickets as a college graduation present. One thing about me is that I LOVE Taylor Swift. I was more excited about the tickets than graduating
college.

Cats or dogs?
Dogs, but I am not opposed to cats. I have a Miniature Australian Shepard named Bando! He is my 1st dog besides a family dog growing up that I have owned.
If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
TikTok. I love making videos on TikTok and I am honestly not bad at it. I always get this from my friends as well. I just never have the time to focus on it. The editing takes longer than you think!

Favorite quote?
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. -Mark Twain
Which cultural icons, historical figures, rogues, rebels or reverends would you be the child of?
I think Steve Martin and Reba McEntire would make an awesome set of parents. I’ve loved both of their movies, shows, and music since I was a kid and I’m probably flattering myself thinking I could ever be as funny or talented as either of them, but I can at least hope, right?? But seriously, what a fun house they would run and fun fact, Steve Martin and I are both from Waco!
What’s the most unusual thing in your desk drawer?
Maybe not that unusual, but you’ll never catch me without peanuts in my drawer. They’re my favorite snack and I eat them almost everyday (please let me know in advance if you’re allergic!)
