A proud son of a hardworking single mother, a devoted husband to an incredible wife, and the father of two spirited daughters, I'm also a dog-dad to an energetic Labrador and a passionate admirer of the Rocky Mountain West. I’m living proof that growing up in the inner city doesn’t define your future, and I’m as driven to help others achieve their goals as I am in pursuing my own. I firmly believe in personal responsibility, the power of grace, and the importance of second chances.Astra Engineering derives its name from the Latin phrase “per aspera ad astra,” meaning “through hardships to the stars.” This resonates deeply with me, as I believe success is built on hard work, the courage to take risks, and the resilience to endure setbacks. Bonus points if you’re a fellow nerd and recognize where else this phrase has appeared!I founded Astra Engineering to provide the manufacturing, process, and natural resource industries with a local, high-quality partner for engineering and automation services. With nearly 20 years of plant engineering experience, I aim to ensure Astra Engineering stands out by fostering a workplace that values leadership, respect, and a culture that attracts top talent.
