Engineers Lead the Way

Please join us in congratulating ControlTek President Andy LaFrazia, who retired from the U.S. Air Force last month after 30 years of both active and reserve duty. Lieutenant Colonel Andy LaFrazia was honored in a service held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord June 3, 2017.

Back in college at Oregon State University, I knew I would likely put my freshly minted Engineering skills to good use when I returned to my family’s business at ControlTek. It did not immediately occur to me, however, just how much the other skills I was absorbing--first as an ROTC scholarship recipient and later during both active and reserve duty as a Civil Engineer Officer in the United States Air Force--would inform and influence my role as President of ControlTek.
