OUR TEAM

Marla Larey PE

Marla was drawn to Mechanical Engineering. Although not always considered the most fun or exciting piece of a project, solving the problem of making all the pieces fit together and work the most efficiently clicked when she was in college and it continues to keep Marla engaged and inspired. From single room designs to multi-level layouts, she enjoys arranging the various pieces of requirements to create a framework for our client’s projects. Her experience and expertise are one piece of the puzzle leading to client satisfaction and completing a project.

Josh strives to ensure healthy portions of hard work and expertise in his endeavors be it from his client-first approach to his management style. This philosophy brings out the best in his teams and helps deepen the understanding of our company’s critical core values of design excellence, innovation, reliability and sustainability. Josh’s proven track record emphasizes performance and growth, and he looks forward to serving up a healthy portion of both for his company and his clients.

Joshua Roehm PE, LEED AP, PMP, CPMP

Curiosity has been the impetus for Xiaobo starting as a child when he discovered the power of electricity by shorting out his condo in China. Although he now understands and respects electrical power more thoroughly, that experience sparked a career and became a driving force in his enthusiasm. As an Electrical Engineer, he feels there is always something new to learn, be it from prior designs to discussions with his coworkers. Building on those experiences, he strives to make each project better and more efficient. His projects continue to create curiosity and a determination to understand how electricity can be applied and harnessed for a safer and more efficient future.
