Meet Our Team

Behind every successful mission is a team of experts who make it happen. At the Army Engineer Association, we’re more than just a group of professionals — we’re driven by a shared passion for excellence. It’s why we’ve supported all members of the Engineer Regiment across the globe, from cadets to veterans, and we’re not stopping anytime soon.

We believe in the power of connection. Every individual on this page plays a vital role in helping us bridge the gap between military engineers and the future of their profession. Each brings a unique skill set, deep commitment, and years of experience to the table. But what sets us apart? We don’t just talk about service — we live it every day.
