TESTIMONIALS

Jaden is in the top 1% of all students and professional engineers that I have encountered. During my 25-year career I have yet to see this distinctive combination of an analytical mindset, desire for personal improvement, social skills, personal empathy, entrepreneurship, and team organizational capabilities, all at a very elite level.

Department Head of Electrical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines

Jaden’s performance at SR3 Engineering has been nothing short of exceptional — a statement that is punctuated by the variety and significance of his current roles and responsibilities at the company. One thing is for sure: I exhibited only a fraction of his ambition and talent when I was his age. I met Jaden when he was only 15 years old, and the manner in which we met is the perfect example of his extraordinary initiative. I can safely say that Jaden is the most ambitious young person I have met in my life.
