About Us

At Admiral, we pride ourselves on being a small but highly effective environmental consulting team. Among our many assets is an experienced and knowledgeable staff. Four of our engineers and consultants have been with Admiral for at least 19 years. This means that we give our clients a familiar face whenever questions or problems arise.

Over the years, we have developed strong partnerships with our clients based on the people of Admiral. We believe that it is not the size of the consulting company that is important, but the people within it that make a difference.

If you need assistance in meeting your company's environmental needs, let us help. Call me or anyone on our capable consulting team of Steve Anderson, Todd Hedlund, Paul Mathews, and Jill Meyer. We want to make a difference.
