An environmental engineer by profession, in 1997 I embarked on a journey to build a company based on the core values of making positive contributions to enhance the quality of living environments of our communities through innovative and sustainable solutions. These core values also focused on building a team that called “work” as well as “home” a happy place. Over the years, as we have achieved many milestones on both these fronts, we continue to strive to be a better company providing innovative solutions to our customers in a rapidly changing world, while also striving to become better ambassadors to our communities outside of our work life.
As we have continued to set the bar higher and higher for our firm, it has always been through carful considerations to fostering a sustainable work place and a safety culture that is unparalleled. While these considerations have enhanced the “out of the box” thinking and productivity of our work force they have also resonated well with our customers.
Our corporate culture is focused on providing “above and beyond” solutions in this ever-changing world, to our customers. We continue to stay ahead of times by constantly combining creativity with our fundamentals.
In the years to come we will continue to enhance our company and our personal lives, building on our strong foundations and setting new benchmarks that are in line with our corporate vision.
