Principals

When you work with PCE, you have one person - a principal in the company - with you from start to finish. We'd like to introduce the PCE team.

W. Craig Simon, PE, President/CEO csimon@pce-mo.com
Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineering, Cum Laude, 1974
University of Notre Dame - Notre Dame, IN.

Craig Simon, a registered professional engineer, began his construction career in 1974 with a major in general contracting in Chicago, Illinois. In 1977, he returned to Columbia and began work with B.D. Simon Construction Company. In 1989, he and four other long-term B.D. Simon Construction employees reorganized the company and created Professional Contractors & Engineers, Inc. As PCE President and CEO, Craig's primary duties are corporate leadership, strategic planning and financial fiduciary. He often serves as a project principal. Craig currently serves as an AGC board member for the K.C. Chapter and formerly was a Builder's Association board member.

Alan Vinson, also a registered professional engineer, began his career in 1970, with B.D. Simon Construction. Alan had been with that firm since that time except for a brief period from 1980 to 1986, when he gained additional experience with large construction firms in Illinois and St. Louis, MO. Alan was also instrumental in PCE's formation. His engineering background and particular attention to detail make him ideally suited to oversee the company's construction operations. He consistently acts as a project principal and is involved in the project management in major projects. He has extensive experience in estimating, scheduling and project management.
Matt Robe, Secretary/Treasurer/CFO mrobe@pce-mo.com
Bachelor of Science, Accounting, 1984

Matt Robe, a certified public accountant, began his career in construction accounting in 1984 with a leading international engineering and construction company in Kansas City, MO. He joined PCE in 1999. Matt brings the highest level of integrity and accountability to PCE's financial operations. His background in public, national and international accounting procedures has uniquely prepared him to oversee PCE's financial and administrative issues. In addition, his position as an advisory board member for a local mechanical contracting firm provides valuable insight into the local market.

Project Managers

Our project managers are the links between the principals, the project superintendents and the client. Project managers make sure lines of communication stay clear and move fast. They facilitate the transition between planning and execution.

Andrew L. (Andy) Bonderer, PE, Vice President
Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineering, 1991
University of Missouri - Columbia, MO.

Andy Bonderer has worked for PCE for more than 10 years. He is a registered engineer experienced in project management, estimating and scheduling.

Prior to employment with PCE, he worked with a local engineering service company performing geotechnical investigations, soil and concrete testing, and quality control inspections. Besides his project management duties, he is actively involved in business development.
Wade Horn, Vice President whorn@pce-mo.com
Wade Horn interned at B.D. Simon Construction in 1984 and was with PCE at its inception. Working under the tutelage of experienced company owners, he has consistently taken on new responsibilities that have made him an effective project manager on a variety of project types and sizes. As his experience has increased, so have the size and complexity of the projects he has managed. Wade is an effective communicator who works closely with owners, architects and the construction team to complete work in a timely manner. His "can do" attitude attacks problems and finds innovative solutions.

He frequently works with projects ranging from thousands of dollars to multi-millions. He is a detail-oriented person, who focuses on high quality and timely completion of his projects.

Field Superintendents

While our principals manage the overall picture of your project, it's the field superintendents who keep up with the day-to-day activities. By empowering them with the authority to resolve issues on-site, we minimize unexpected delays and complications.
