Meet the Team Behind the Work:
A huge part of our success comes from the talented individuals leading the charge:
Ben Anderson PE-Chief Structural Engineer
Ben's deep technical knowledge and commitment to engineering excellence ensures that every structure we design meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance.
Outside of the office, Ben truly values quality time with his family. Whether he is gathered around a campfire or casting a line out on the water, some of his favorite moments are spent camping and fishing with his loved ones. Before stepping into the world of engineering, Ben built a strong foundation-quite literally! He spent time working as a carpenter in residential construction, where his hands-on experience gave him a deep appreciation for how structures come together from the ground up. It was through that work that his passion for structural engineering was born, and he made the decision to take that knowledge and passion to the next level by pursuing it academically and professionally. That combination of real-world experience and academic excellence is what makes Ben such a valuable and well-rounded member of our team.
Ryan Krause PE-Structures Business Group Leader
Ryan brings exceptional leadership and technical expertise to every project, guiding our structures team to deliver innovative and reliable engineering solutions across Texas.
Outside of work, Ryan is a dedicated family man who cherishes every moment spent with his wife and their two energetic little boys, aged 2 and 3. Whether he's wrestling, playing, or cheering on the sidelines at his son's soccer games, family is truly at the center of his world. When he gets a little downtime, Ryan enjoys watching movies, keeping up with sports, and satisfying his curiosity by exploring a wide variety of interesting topics. As for his path into engineering, during his college orientation, Ryan made a spontaneous decision that would shape his entire career. When he discovered that his natural strength in mathematics could lead him toward engineering, he was told "well, there's engineering, but that's too hard."
Ryan's response? "Okay, I'll do that." And just like that, a challenge became a calling. That same drive and determination he showed at orientation is the exact mindset he brings to work every single day.
