He began his career by leading design, procurement, and construction teams for complex industrial plants, including; electric generation, cogeneration, thermal storage, fuel cell, and large central plants. His passion for control systems integration led to his founding of Control Technology, Inc. (CTI), which operates as a boutique industrial controls, engineering, and consulting firm. For more than thirty years, CTI has completed over 8,000 projects in eight different countries, under Rex’s leadership. Several of those projects received recognition, including the 1997 award for Power Plant of the Year in Renton, WA.
