Associate, Senior Electrical Engineer, Kohler Ronan; BS, Electrical Engineering, Villanova University
Baker has played a key role at Kohler Ronan for the past eight years, executing electrical systems design and coordinating with other engineering disciplines. During that timeframe, he’s built a diverse portfolio, working on various diverse projects for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Princeton University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Boston Public Library and Wellesley College. Each project demanded a deep understanding of both architectural intent and functional performance. While working on museums, for example, he preserved the space’s integrity by ensuring all electrical systems would remain discreet, allowing the art to be displayed without obstruction. A dedicated professional, he is known for his responsive communication and visionary leadership. Baker is dedicated, detail-oriented and remains aware of larger project goals such as budget, schedule and facility operations. Within his firm, Baker co-initiated an internal roundtable series aimed at fostering relationships and discussions with younger engineers. For Baker, engineering is not only about buildings and systems, but also about creating strong relationships along the way. His clients describe him as an adaptable, collaborative and creative problem solver with a customer-friendly attitude. When growing up, Baker had a natural aptitude for math and science. This skill set, combined with his father’s encouragement, led him to seek a career in a high-demand field and he found his passion for electrical engineering during undergrad. Outside of work, he’s volunteered with the ACE Mentorship Program of America and is passionate about guiding the next generation of engineers. He enjoys spending time with his family and cooking, particularly a flavorful Sunday Sauce.
