Principals
Steve Maxson
PE, LEED® AP
President
Steve was attracted to consulting engineering by his fascination with how technology and engineering significantly improves the quality of life for all humanity. He founded and built Maxson Engineering on his belief that there is no substitute for honesty and hard work along with his drive to always learn about new things. This belief nurtures a culture to deliver successful projects to our clients and provide fulfilling careers for our employees. Coming from a family of engineers, Steve was destined to be a life-long learner and apply his knowledge for the advancement of humanity. In his free time, Steve enjoys archery hunting, skiing, hiking, and traveling with his family.
Scott Miller
PE, LEED® AP
Principal, Director of Engineering
Scott’s drive to make a difference in people’s lives has led him to a 24-year career as a mechanical engineer, designing spaces for national security agencies to educational facilities. His passion for engineering stems from his childhood days of his father being an engineer, his interest in math and science, and playing Legos. Scott inspires his team with his “a job well done” attitude for our clients’ projects and helping create a company culture of “if you like what you do, it won’t feel like work.” On the weekends you’ll find Scott cooking breakfast for his family, watching his kids play sports and playing the occasional melody on his piano!
Brian Bowyer
PE
Principal, Electrical Department Manager
Being weirdly good at math and getting ahead of assignments in school still rings true for Brian 23 years into his engineering career. He brings his sense of adventure and humor into solving complex problems for our clients’ electrical needs in developing, manufacturing, and providing products that impact our lives. Brian’s infectious positivity has helped him develop long-lasting relationships in the industry and build a strong culture at Maxson Engineering. Being an outdoor enthusiast, Brian enjoys mountain biking trails along the Front Range, had the opportunity to ride across the Scottish Highlands, conquering the Incline at Manitou Springs several times, playing sand volleyball, and preventing his two Nigerian Dwarf Goats named Danny DeVito and Eugene Levy from consuming every green thing in his backyard.
Chris Geipel
Principal, Director of Project Development
Chris’s 12-year background in engineering and design, mixed with his love for client interaction makes him a natural fit for project development. He enjoys being a part of the amazing technologies presented in this field and meeting people who challenge the world when building rockets, satellites, developing prosthetics and ridding the world of cancer. Chris never gets tired of the cool confidential projects he is involved in and as Maverick would say, “I could tell you, but…” When he’s not enjoying breakfast at his favorite restaurant with his wife and daughter, you’ll find him golfing and someday flying in the sky utilizing his pilot’s license!
