  BIOGRAPHIES
  Daniel Netz - Principal, Engineering Director
 
With a strong creative passion and over 20 years of engineering experience, Daniel brings a unique symmetry and awareness to water design. Since 1999, he has been designing and engineering water display systems for a national and international Clientele. Prior to 1999, he worked in the engineering, mining, petrochemical processing and petroleum refining industries, and in doing so held positions as Project Engineer, Process Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Project Manager, Marketing Coordinator and Business Development Director. As a byproduct of this broad exposure, Daniel’s experiences have evolved a concise engineering methodology that allows for efficient and practical design execution.
Mr. Netz’s education includes a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Technology from Northern Arizona University and a post graduate course in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition to designing and engineering water display systems, Mr. Netz regularly teaches courses and speaks on hydrodynamic design and is a consultant to the architecture, pool and interior design industries.
 
 
   
   
  Carlos Mendez - Principal, Technical Coordination Director
 
His intuitive nature and broad interests has allowed Carlos to work with such interesting and compelling people as Paul McCready and Maya Lin and to gain experience in areas such as infrastructure development, electro-mechanical systems design and composite materials development for airborne vehicles. Carlos' experience specific to water design began with his 6 years at WET Design.
Carlos' education includes pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Production Technology from California State University Los Angeles while on a full scholarship from the Northrop Grumman Company; he also holds a degree in Mechanical Design and has undertaken special study from the Rip Weaver course on Process Piping Design.
 
   
   
 
Jorge Enrique Mutis - Senior Project Designer
 
Compelled by finished architecture as seen from a distance, Jorge brings a macro perspective to fountain design by providing a necessary counter-balance to the micro perspective typically exuded by a technically trained mind.
Mr. Mutis' educational experience and accomplishments include under graduate study at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, as well as Florida Atlantic University. Mr. Mutis was honored to participate in The  Fallingwater Residency Program from The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Mr. Mutis last served as project manger with Florida based Singer Architects before relocating to the west coast.
