Dean Forman is Earth Tek Engineering Corporation’s Founder and President. He provides experienced and enthusiastic leadership for all administrative and field operations. He has over 25 years of hands-on experience in all aspects of earthwork.

He began in the construction industry with his purchase of earthwork equipment in the early 1980’s. Extended members of the Forman family have been involved in the grading and engineering industry, providing Dean with the opportunity to begin utilization of this specialized equipment. Later Dean became affiliated with an engineering contractor that allowed him the opportunity to estimate and manage various projects that leased his equipment on a long-term basis.

This arrangement ended and a more profitable opportunity presented itself by which Dean, along with several managers from previous ventures undertook and established their own engineering and grading contracting firm. This resulted in the formation of Earth Tek Engineering Corporation.
