Stephan was born and raised in the beautiful City of Dortmund, Germany.

After his military service in the German Artillery in Hannover, he studied

Civil/Structural Engineering at the Technical University in Aachen, before

spending the #rst two years of his career in Berlin, participating in the

design of a whole city block in the former East Berlin right behind where

the wall used to be.

When the project was completed, he decided to pursue his Master’s degree

in Structural Engineering at Arizona State University. After successful

completion, Stephan worked in Phoenix for a couple of years, before moving

to Las Vegas and being involved in many strip projects, such as Bellagio,

Venetian, Crystals, 63 CityCenter and the Sphere.

Stephan founded his own company, Kordt Engineering Group, in 2013,

before selling it to Canadian Engineering #rm RJC Engineers in 2022,

where he is now in charge of the continued growth of the US Operations.

Besides working a lot Stephan likes to travel with his wife, kids and friends,

following his hometown soccer team, Borussia Dortmund, to a few games in

interesting cities every year, riding his bicycle and visiting his daughter in

Milwaukee, where she is attending Marquette University and the Wisconsen

College of Medicine, and his son in Phoenix where he studies Biomedical

Engineering at ASU.

With so many good things happening in his live, Stephan found Los

Vaqueros to be the perfect Organization to give back a little and to enjoy the

camaraderie with fellow businesspeople.
