About Us
Established in 2011, we are a privately held company with our green showcase headquarters and home located in the beautiful Evans Creek Valley of Southern Oregon (please see below construction photos). We provide national and international engineering and construction design/build professional services for commercial and custom residential projects. Our focus and passion is hydronic radiant floor heating, passive solar cooling & heating, and water work projects.
Our Founder, CEO and Principal Engineer, Robert G. (Bob) Borst, was raised in Carlstadt NJ, graduated from Becton Regional High School (1976) and Stevens Institute of Technology (1980). With encouragement from his mom, Bob studied hard and escaped the crowded east coast and deranged family members for a 35 year career with Boeing designing control systems for airplanes, missiles, rockets, rotorcraft, and wind tunnels. In addition to holding or co-holding patents on several inventions, Bob had the honor of training commercial and military flight crews all over the world including Air Force One. Unable to prevent Boeing leadership from discarding precious long-term acquired engineering and program management competency for increased short-term profit, Bob left Boeing in 2015 as the last leader of the internationally acclaimed and highly esteemed Boeing Flight Operations Engineering team based in Seattle WA. Bob is married to Gayle A. (Crews) Borst who was raised in Austin TX and Munich Germany and graduated from the University of TX. Bob and Gayle enjoy spending time with family/friends, fly fishing, hiking, sailing, snow skiing and travelling the world. Bob and Gayle were active with Boy Scouts of America and their sons Erick and Dietrich became Eagle Scouts and graduated from Central Washington University before starting their own careers. Erick also has MBA from Seattle University and is a Bank Finance Director. Dietrich is the Penske North America Western Region Security Director after a 10 year career as an Edmonds WA police officer and SWAT sniper.
