About Us

Robin was born in Texas and graduated from UTA. He received his Professional Engineering license there and, after some time in Michigan, contributed to projects including hospitals in Texas and working for the military on electrical grids in Afghanistan.

CTR was looking to hire someone with his experience in 2013, and Robin was fit for the job. He returned to Michigan, where he lives with his wife of 20 years and three kids. Robin contributed greatly to the growth and continued success of CTR. Robin takes pride in service to the clients and our team’s responsiveness and ability to problem solve.

Jacob Sabins has always loved science and math growing up. It was only a matter of time before his dad encouraged him to look for a career in engineering. He had lived in Lansing his entire life, graduating from Michigan State University in 2004 (Go Green!) and working in the Lansing area for over 17 years. He now shares a home in Holt with his wife and two daughters, spending his weekends swimming, coaching soccer, and playing card games with family and friends.

CTR invited Jacob to join the firm in 2014 with an opportunity to become part of CTR’s leadership while also providing design services on several large projects. What drew him to this company was the team of experienced professionals and CTR’s reputation among their clients as a provider of choice for engineering services. Because of Jacob and the employees at CTR, the team of engineers and designers have developed a wide range of experience across many building types and work every day to establish trusting and positive relationships with our clients.

Solving problems and building things is how Scott learned to have fun. His family was in the building consulting and sales side of the industry. When it came time to make his mark in life, designing buildings seemed like a natural fit. Scott was motivated by the challenge to be more and do more as a person, and this goal propelled him to the next level of his professional career with CTR.

At CTR, a great team of people is always there to support new projects, and as an engineer, he loved the ability to develop the custom solutions for each client. No client has the same idea of what their ideal building structure is. Helping them find a design solution that works is a true passion of his. His transition from engineer to Principal and partner has brought to light his sometimes hidden, extrovert side. This new self helps him make long-term friendships that go above and beyond the typical client and consultant relationship. When he’s not at work, Scott spends time with his wife and four kids. They are true West Michigan natives and enjoy spending their time together hiking in the woods, swimming, and being in nature.
