Congratulations to Chris Cornett, P.E., LEED AP, for 25 years at SSC Engineering! Chris was the very first full-time employee hired by Mike Swim in 1993 and is an original Principal of SSC. It’s not a cliché when we say without Chris’ contribution, there would be no SSC.

To celebrate this milestone, Chris’ co-workers were asked to use one word to describe him. Being engineers, they were unable to limit responses to one word, but the answers were so heartfelt, we want to share them.

• "Chris is a man of principles”
• “He’s solutions oriented”
• “Fair and honest”
• “He’s a trust worthy and honest person who cares about the people he’s around”
• “Chris has a knack for helping people cultivate their talent”

Rich Kwiatkowski, Principal, SSC Engineering, put it best. “Twenty-Five Years ago, Chris Cornett started working right out of college in the basement of Mike Swim’s house as a mechanical engineer. We are thankful to Chris for the vision to build SSC Engineering into a multi-discipline firm with a staff of forty with licenses to practice engineering in 48 states. Coincidentally, Chris holds 30 of the licenses.”

When Chris isn’t designing HVAC system replacements, hydronic system upgrades or Commissioning, he enjoys trying to survive the controlled chaos with his family. Trying is the key as Chris and his wife have a family of 10!

Chris, thank you for having the vision, commitment and work ethic to build a place for all of us to work every day! We are proud to have contributed to each gray hair you have. Now get back to work.
