Tim Franklin

Graduated from Virginia Tech with degrees in building construction and civil engineering. After graduation Tim joined TOMCAT, USA, a frontrunner in aluminum fabrication serving the entertainment industry. Tim then joined Stagecraft, a set construction company whose clients included Vince Gill, ZZ top and KISS. Seeking broader and more technical experience, Tim joined Geiger Engineers where he grew to become an Associate. Working at Geiger allowed Tim to combine his knowledge of the demands of the challenging entertainment industry with his growing technical knowledge. Seeking a change of venue, Theta Consulting was formed.

Krista Schnitzler 

Joined Theta in 2009 with a background in marketing and operations. After working in the insurance industry and the corporate world, she was ready to actually see what she was contributing to. Managing the business side has proven to be an ever-changing puzzle with new opportunities at every turn.  Never one to enjoy physics and formulas in her spare time, she has come to appreciate the art of engineering design.

Dan Louis 

Joined Theta Consulting in March of 2012 and brought with him three years of structural design experience spent mostly in the heavy construction/bridge industry.  He also brought with him his Keurig machine which has greatly improved the office morale. Dan was intrigued by Theta Consulting’s wide range of interesting projects in their portfolio and was lucky enough to be brought on as a full time employee. After deciding that 25 years of life in New Jersey was long enough, Dan was also interested in Theta’s proximity to his family and friends in Bucks County, PA.  Since joining the firm, Dan has enjoyed the day to day challenges of working in a busy firm with many varied projects on its plate, and is grateful for the opportunity to gain experience in several aspects of structural engineering. Dan aims to be a reliable, loyal asset and looks forward to providing our clients with the timely and efficient service they deserve. Dan has adjusted nicely to the ways of life and severe traffic problems in Eastern PA and is enjoying life with his wife Allison and 3 daughters.

Chris Telson 

Joined Theta at the start of 2017. After earning his degree in Industrial Design he couldn’t fathom leaving behind his job at the local Margarita joint, so he didn’t against the advice of pretty much everyone. A few odd jobs later he had an opportunity to relocate to Houston, TX to work for an oil field equipment manufacture in the Engineering department. After 5 years in the oil patch and now with a family in tow, it was time to come back home. Chris sought out Theta because of his love for design and the entertainment industry. He spends his days 3D modeling, creating analysis models and producing client drawings.
