ABOUT US
OUR TEAM
Abbie is a co-founder and COO. She is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and providing strategic direction for our firm. She oversees Mint's finance, marketing and human resource functions. Abbie's interest in entrepreneurship and management was sparked while obtaining her undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin, motivating her to carry on and obtain an MBA. After many years in the corporate world, she decided it was time to start their own venture and convinced Michael to co-found an MEP firm. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time in nature, reading historical fiction, and most of all spending quality time with her energetic family and animals (which currently includes 2 goats, 12 chickens, a Great Pyranese, a Chihuahua, a Yorkie and a Siamese kitty).
Michael is a co-founder and oversees engineering for the company. He has over a decade of extensive industry experience designing, consulting and leading MEP teams. Michael's interest in engineering began in the US Marine Corps where he was responsible for drafting and surveying. Shortly after his honorable discharge from the military, he completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at The University of Texas at San Antonio. Michael has a passion for ensuring our clients are thrilled with our work and enjoys learning about industry developments and new technology. In his free time, Michael enjoys "doing manly stuff" on his property in Dripping Springs, barbecuing with the hopes of mastering the perfect brisket and rib rack, and mountain biking in the hill country.
Rex A. Drake, PE is Director of Engineering. He has 20 plus years of experience in the industry ranging from high-rise multifamily to movie theaters, and even the first all-new US locomotive manufacturing factory built over a century. Rex grew up building a variety of projects. He spent 8 years in the US Air Force. After an honorable discharge, he completed his engineering degree at Texas Tech University. Rex has a passion for mentoring young engineers and helping clients achieve their dreams. In his spare time, he is volunteering in his community, experimenting with ham radio, spending time outdoors, or creating his own personal ambitious projects, including a teardrop travel trailer and a 16 foot kayak.
Regina obtained her Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in sustainability from San Diego State University. She is taking her P.E. exam in February '23 (yeah!) and we know all her hard work studying will pay off. Upon graduation, Regina obtained her EIT license and began work at a large engineering firm back in Texas. She is excited to have found Mint and gain experience working on a wide variety of projects with a smaller team. In her spare time she is finishing up work on her custom built tiny house! Besides tiny homes, she also enjoys traveling, cooking, reading and spending time with family and friends.
