Mr. Milhouse’s journey to becoming a Titan in the industry is a remarkable entrepreneurial story, marked by relentless dedication, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. He embarked on this path from the basement of his Chicago home with a vision of creating an engineering firm driven by excellence for clients and the communities it serves.
