Luke has been in the construction and engineering industry since 2012. He graduated from the University of Kansas with his B.S. in Civil Engineering in 2010 and received his M.S. in Structural Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2012. He has worked in industrial construction, commercial construction, and manufacturing. Some notable structural projects include U.S. Bank Stadium (home of the Minnesota Vikings), Hard Rock Stadium roof expansion (home of the Miami Dolphins), and Hudson Yards (a high-rise in Manhattan, NY). Luke is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Colorado, Utah, Tennessee, and South Carolina, and a Professional Structural Engineer (S.E.) in Nevada and Arizona.
Luke founded Cronin Engineering and Inspection in 2020 after getting a lot of questions from friends and family about residential structural engineering. He quickly realized that the market for residential and small commercial projects have been underserved and that people are frequently unhappy with the level of service they receive on these projects. He founded CEI on the principles of quality, customer service, honesty, and affordability. He is passionate about helping others and understands that all projects are important and strives to meet the customer’s expectations.
Luke grew up in Anchorage Alaska and is passionate about outdoor activities. He is a big game hunter who especially enjoys archery hunting and also likes to make the occasional fishing trip back to Alaska. He is a former collegiate athlete, playing baseball in college before focusing on engineering. He also enjoys hiking in the mountains with his fiance and their two dogs, reading, and cooking.
