Howdy,
Born and raised in San Antonio, I moved to Bryan/College Station to attend the best school out there, I mean Texas A&M. I received my Bachelors and Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering and set-out to start ARRK post-graduation. Several years later and many hard learned lessons later, I’m proud to say I’m an owner of one of Brazos Valley best Steel Building Construction Companies. I’m happily married to my wife, Miah Kraus, of whom I can’t wait to see after a long day on the jobsight. In our free time, me and my wife enjoy throwing the football, going hiking, and swimming when it’s warm enough.

I began my career as a mechanical engineer specializing in automated manufacturing. While working on my Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M, I took an interest in projects that included electronics and programming which led me to pursuing a Minor and eventually a Master’s in Electrical Engineering. In my free time, I like to tinker on my own engineering projects including electric vehicles and automated machines. I am currently working on the restoration of a 1971 El Camino, adding some new technology to a classic car. I started this company because I love to take on new and creative design and fabrication challenges.
