SANDERSON STEWART - Key Persons
"Work for a cause, not for applause." It couldn't sum up Amy's passion to improve people's lives better. The clean freak in Amy is compelled to fix all our issues and tidy her house. Works out well for her two pups, Macy and Frankie, too.
Bryan enjoys solving problems and creating lasting memories. Which is why he chose to be an engineer AND a professional photographer. With his family and cat, Baxter, he lives by the saying: "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn." No challenge is too daunting. Not even being the crazy cat person in a dog-filled office.
Charles started his career with Sanderson Stewart in Bozeman before moving to Colorado in the early 2000s. Before that? Well you might have to ask him about his rock ‘n roll days and sound engineering skills. Seriously impressive!
As a Senior Planner, Chris works collaboratively across the firm to achieve the triple bottom line of cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability to improve the communities in which we live, work, and play. Chris is also a busy and active member of the Bozeman community, where he serves on many boards and councils including the Greater Yellowstone Coalition National Council and the Northern Rockies Economic Development District Board among others.

Cora is a member of the firm's Branding Studio and leads the firm's bid/proposal process. As a CSTP focused on the pursuit of Enduring Community Design and an active community volunteer, Cora is very inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt who once said, "Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one's world."
You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger MSU Bobcats fan than Curtis. When he's not cheering on his beloved Cats (or Las Vegas Raiders), you'll likely find him hanging out with his wife and daughters or driving kids to school on the neighborhood bus!

Erin is an active guy. Not only is he the firm's Municipal Group Manager where he helps design enduring community solutions for cities, towns, and counties all over the Rocky Mountain Region, he is also a football referee, which takes him to the far reaches of Montana to officiate high school games. In his spare time, you're likely to find Erin cheering on his kids at volleyball meets or his favored Las Vegas Raiders on Sundays.
If you go boating with Gary, you had better be ready to sing some Conway Twitty songs. He isn't afraid to share his love of "old" country music. Other things he loves include his terrific family; the MSU Bobcats; and math - which is what lead him to his (soon to be) legendary civil engineering career.
Jack Mueller starts Mueller Engineering in a converted garage on Grand Avenue. Bob works for Jack during vacations from college.
Following in the footsteps of an amazing role model, mentor (& father), Erling Tufte, John always knew he was going to be a Civil Engineer. He started his career at Sanderson Stewart (back when it was called Engineering, Inc.) and - after receiving his masters and more than a little project experience - he is back once again. John, along with his golden retriever, Leo, is now managing the Colorado region for SS and looking forward to a lot more experiences. "Get ‘er done!"

Katie specializes in all things DOT, and is our resident Right of Way guru. Born and raised in Billings, Katie loves spending time with her family on the fairways at Yellowstone Country Club. She is an avid Montana State Bobcats fan and legend has it that even her Koi wear blue & gold on game day.
Mark's favorite saying is "Everything is fixable!" Which is great, since he is a CPA. It ain't easy keeping a bunch of inspired designers on track financially. Apparently, golf isn't easy for him either, but he doesn't let that stop him from swinging.
When not globetrotting for his side job as International President of ITE, Michael and his black lab, Loki, like to run, fish, and watch his kids play volleyball & baseball. Words to live by: "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." -Mario Andretti
Michael P. Sanderson, P.E., PTOE, LEED AP and president/CEO of Sanderson Stewart, was recently awarded the 2017 Distinguished Service Award by the Billings Engineers Club. The award recognizes distinguished engineers for exceptional technical contributions to the...
Rick Leuthold joins the firm as a construction inspector.
Rick is a sunshine and rainbows kind of guy. When not traveling the world with his family and his westie, Duffy, Rick is working to make it a better place. That optimism and vision to see opportunity in every challenge is the reason he chose to become a civil engineer.
Bob has been the North Star of Sanderson Stewart since the beginning. His earnest, cowboy way of getting things done, along with his strong sense of right and wrong have helped to create a great company. And a really rad '56 suburban we like to call Old Blue.
When Tessa isn't sharing her road design expertise on DOT-focused projects, you are likely to find her outdoors with her family (and pup!) enjoying all of the fun that Montana has to offer!
Tim loves the outdoors, but not extreme temperatures. That is actually one of the reasons he became a civil engineer. While working on a sweltering construction site one summer, he noticed that the engineer observing from his air-conditioned truck, and he knew that was the job for him. It is also the reason you won't find him and his lab, Libby, ice fishing anytime soon.
