He’s applied over 50 megawatts of simultaneous load on some of the region’s most critical systems and reported on the performance! Eric works with new & existing clients to create solutions & services for critical power & cooling applications. After moving to the front range in 2012, he has taken to the mountains like a duck to water; he can often be found on various trails & bodies of water throughout the Rocky Mountains.

After graduating from Engineering School, Matt jumped into the deep end of the data center industry. Working with teams internationally, Matt managed the delivery of the Electrical Power Monitoring System scope of work at one of the largest data center projects in the world. After successfully helping turn over 400 MW+ of greenfield and brownfield distribution in the Omaha area Matt and his wife moved to Kansas City where they now reside. While Matt’s titles allude to his time managing projects, he’s been a flex player contributing to engineering, commissioning, field management, business development, operations, and marketing. Outside of navigating the constraints of the mission critical industry, Matt enjoys good beer, good company and good times. Matt started with CFT in 2022

Harlan joined CFT in 2022 with 10 years of electrical construction management and field experience.

Prior to coming onboard, Harlan began his career studying electrical engineering and eventually made a transition to electrical construction. As a master electrician, Harlan applied his field experience into project management roles. In the project management sector he has travelled across the country managing electrical construction projects for some of the world’s largest retailers. When the opportunity arose, Harlan entered into the sales world and has continued ever since. Outside of work, Harlan enjoys relaxing at home with his family, hiking, reading, chess, and playing billiards. He especially enjoys bedtime reading with his 1-year-old son.

David joined CFT in 2023 with 15 years of construction experience mostly in the general contracting industry.

Growing up in Northeast Iowa, Iowa State University in Ames was the obvious choice for pursuing an engineering degree. Upon graduation David was recruited up to Minneapolis-St. Paul area where he took on a traveling project management role. Once outside of the general contracting world it only made sense for David to continue those working relationships into a different role and jump into the sales industry. Outside of work David and his beautiful wife Brooke spend most of their free time enjoying the outdoors in some form of camping, cycling, photography, spending time with the dog, and discovering new fun spots with friends. A fun fact about David that you probably wouldn't know, he likely drinks more Folgers coffee than anyone else you know (for better or for worse).
