Our Team

Jordan Backer, PE

Mechanical Engineer,

Jordan is a bright, energetic engineer. He takes his work seriously, but he also encourages the team around him to have fun and be reminded of the overall vision of projects that they work on. Jordan has been involved in hundreds of mechanical engineering projects, and he always steps up to the plate to make sure each and every one is done to the best it can be. 

Jordan is up for everything and will try anything at least once. Especially craft beer. Does it taste like sugary cereal? Have notes of decaying plants? Ridiculously high ABV? He’s probably tried it. Jordan enjoys traveling the region with his wife and pup to explore small and local breweries to expand his craft beer tasting list.
