CTL Engineering is a full service consulting engineering, testing, inspection, and analytical services company. Formerly known as Columbus Testing Laboratory, the company was established in 1927 as a privately held independent engineering and testing laboratory serving the local community. During its early years, the company focused mainly on soils, foundation engineering, and construction testing and inspection services. The successes, experience, equipment, and expertise gained in these areas led to a natural expansion into the metallurgical, non-destructive testing, mechanical, mining, roofing, and environmental service industries. Initially, CTL Engineering’s client base was mostly limited to Columbus, Ohio and its surrounding communities, but has grown significantly since. Today, CTL Engineering regularly performs services not only throughout Ohio, but also in all of the Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states. In addition to our corporate headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, we have expanded our service centers to include 12 other regional offices. CTL Engineering became an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Company in 1991. It has been awarded Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) status by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services and Indiana Department of Administration, as well as MBE status by the Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council, affiliates of National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).

The biggest risk in the AI era isn’t that AI will take your job, its that AI will flatten your thinking. Were all hearing the same conventional wisdom: Just invest more in the tech and skills that are needed to push the buttons. But my 30+ years of leading enterprise modernization and AI initiatives taught me that the best investment you can make right now isnt in another product, technology, or LLM, but in the people who use them. Our competitive edge is still, and always will be, human ingenuity. That’s why I’m launching Right Brain Labs—The AI Fluency Company, an Ohio-based startup dedicated to defending human creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. We’re NOT a training company or a Services Company; we’re building AI Fluency infrastructure that helps organizations, leaders, and people practice cognitive collaboration, build positive learning habits, and continuous learning skills that make sure they are agile, adaptable, and resilient for the future. Our philosophy is simple: Make machines better machines, so humans can be better humans. If you are ready to stop automating mediocrity and start augmenting human potential, connect with me to explore how we build your AI Fluency infrastructure and stay tuned for updates.
