Celebrating the Final Spotlight of #EngineersWeek! To wrap up Engineers Week, we’re proud to spotlight?Sergio Bustamante, Co-Founder and President of?Matador Engineering. Sergio’s leadership is the foundation of our commitment to building an engineering company rooted in?ethics, integrity, and excellence. At Matador, we believe great engineering isn’t just about technical expertise—it’s about doing the right thing, every time.?Thank you Sergio Bustamante, P.E., NEBB CP for all of your dedication and commitment! What inspired you to become an engineer? "So, I first heard the word “mechanical engineer” as a kid on an 80’s cartoon called M.A.S.K. The guy designed toys and flew in a car so I was like, “ um yes that’s what I would like to do as well thank you”. I’ve always had a mechanical interest and I was always working on motorcycles and cars growing up. Reading about military technology etc. I just knew I would be fulfilled if I followed that path." What college did you attend and why? " I chose Texas Tech after I fell in love with the people and the campus after a visit. I’m originally from West Texas, and it just felt like home. I transferred in as a sophomore, so all I took were engineering classes. I only had to take one elective to graduate, and it was “drawing-1“. Turns out that class would change my entire life as it is where I met the love of my life. (Same as Blake, but I did it first ??)" What’s a surprising fact about your work that most people wouldn’t know? "I can log in to a lot of really cool places around town and completely change the interior climate. There are a lot of systems working in the background inside of all of the buildings we occupy that nobody knows about and therefore take for granted. If you feel comfortable and don’t notice anything then we are doing our job." If you weren’t an engineer, what would you be doing? "Most of my teachers said I didn’t act like a scientist. More like a game show host. So there’s that. I suppose I would’ve liked to be a professional soccer coach. I love soccer and teaching and coaching people. I was told by my wife I would make a good lawyer, because I love to argue and evidently I love the sound of my own voice.??"
