Principal
Danny Zimmermann, PE
Principal
Mike Hayes, Managing Principal for Moose Engineers, brings years of MEP project management and design experience to his firm.
Mike takes a practical management approach informed by his 20-year career in the United States Air Force where he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In early 2018, Mike began charting his ownership course after finding that a disproportionately low number of service-disabled veterans are leaders in the MEP industry.
Mike shared his intentions with his colleagues, Wade Cleary, PE and Danny Zimmermann, PE of Cleary Zimmermann Engineers, and the three came together to establish the firm.
Today, Mike is Managing Principal and majority shareholder, and Wade Cleary and Danny Zimmermann are Principals and minority shareholders in Moose Engineers.
