An esteemed Assistant Project Manager, Ahren (pronounced “R-N”) brings a blend of passion and meticulousness to the realm of project management. With a professional background steeped in emergency services and safety code compliance, Ahren built a dynamic range of specializations and has a keen eye for detail to every project he undertakes. 

 

Originally from Upstate New York, Ahren leveraged his early experiences as a dedicated firefighter to pivot into safety code compliance. His six-year service in emergency services was complemented by a parallel career as a Code Enforcement Official in New Paltz & Shawangunk, where he specialized in inspecting various properties to ensure compliance with New York building, fire, and code regulations. This period was marked by an Associate's degree in Fire Science as well as a Bachelor's degree in Emergency and Disaster Management. Before joining the team, Ahren served as a Senior Safety Engineer for Grunley Construction, where he conducted on-site safety inspections that ensured every employee adhered to EM-385 and OSHA standards. 

 

Ahren has called Maryland home since 2021 and holds dual citizenship (German and American). That said, when Ahren is not overseeing project details, you can typically find him skeet shooting, attending weekend hockey games, and hiking/exploring the area's best trails.
