Mark earned a BSME in 1983 from the University of Pittsburgh, with a Minor in Mathematics, after which he immediately went to work for Westinghouse Electric’s Nuclear division. In 1984, he transferred to Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia and in 1987, Mark was transferred to Westinghouse’s Combustion Turbine division in Orlando, Florida where he gained extensive knowledge of combustion turbine operation and maintenance.

He was instrumental in developing a materials packaging system and long-term maintenance program for combustion turbines, including preparing detailed proposals for combined cycle plants at various international locations. In 1991, Mark became a Project Manager responsible for the turnkey installation of combined cycle plants from start to finish, both domestic and international, with typical plant installed capacity exceeding 500 megawatts and project costs in excess of 600 million dollars.

Bob began his career in industry during his sophomore year in high school, working as a certified code welder for a local manufacturer in Wyoming, where he was born and raised.  After being honorably discharged from a six-year enlistment in the United States Navy as a propulsion engineer, he began working in the traditional insurance market as a risk analyst.

He earned two degrees during his sixteen-year employment with Hartford Steam Boiler before transitioning to Vice President at the AES Global Insurance Company where he assumed the task of building a state-of-the-art loss control program.  During his tenure at AGIC, Bob worked closely with Mike Thomas while conducting AES equipment failure investigations, and in 2009, joined Mike’s team and continues supporting Insurers in the energy industry as a Partner with MGTA Group.

His favorite quote is by Barbara J. Winter, “When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly.”

TJ earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 from Michigan Technological University before joining Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation as a Field Service Engineer where he earned the best in class “Top Gun Award” while enrolled in the Engineer In Training program. He was born and raised in the industry while located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and being involved with the core engineering, management and union labor teams remaining from the nuclear and coal fired steam turbine construction boom and regulated power industry maintenance programs.

Rising through the ranks of the Field Service Division, his career path included the challenges of managing steam turbine, gas turbine and generator maintenance projects; combined cycle total plant new constructions; and aggressively scheduled nuclear refueling outage equipment upgrades and repowering projects. He ultimately was a founding member of an internal Siemens niche group managing the implementation of some of the most complex projects in the industry resulting from catastrophic loss events both domestically and internationally.

After almost 20 years of loyal service with Siemens, TJ decided to apply his unique skill set with MGTA Group in the support of Insurers, many associated with large catastrophic losses. His addition to the MGTA Group Team provides a younger face with excellent talents to properly support the needs of Insurers, and thereby Owners, involved with each assignment. TJ enhances the many years of experience already available from the Group with his diverse background on large projects and the unique requirements of Insurers.
