Vaughn Engler

Vaughn grew up in California with two younger brothers and two science-nerd parents. His parents would routinely drag the family out into the woods to go backpacking, skiing, bike riding, and camping. This upbringing set him up for a lifetime of hugging trees.At the age of 17, Vaughn moved to Colorado to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Upon graduating, he took a job in Denver working for an engineering consulting firm.There he gained exposure to many facets of the energy efficiency and sustainability world including energy modeling, commissioning, retro-commissioning, LEED consulting, and energy auditing.After 14 years in the industry, Vaughn accepted a position with Michaels in 2021 to focus his work within the existing building sector. Vaughn’s current role includes working with utility programs providing retro-commissioning and energy auditing services. Vaughn lives in Boulder, CO where he is an avid outdoors man. He spends most of his free time outside rock climbing, mountain biking, fishing, or skiing. When he is not outdoors you can find him reading a science fiction novel or building model airplanes.
