Earl Engelmann, President/CEO The founder of Engelmann, Inc. Earl moved to Sun Valley in 1979. His extensive background in boat building and cabinet making provided him with a skillset that was in short supply in the Valley. Immediately capitalizing on these skills Earl embarked on a series of ventures that introduced a new level of craftsmanship and customer service to the area. By founding Engelmann, Inc. in 1986 Earl created a vehicle through which his standards could be applied to a broader audience. Earl remains active in the firm he created and is the originator of our "Clients for Life" philosophy.
