MKA is a multi-disciplined Construction and Engineering Consulting firm. Mr. Kneppers recently stepped down from his position as Vice President and still serves as a Board Member of MKA. His role in the 33 years with MKA included establishing and developing offices, attracting and growing a client base, along with facilitating various technical disciplines within the company to address the needs of MKA clients.
