About Gray Matter –
Gray Matter provides practical advice and solutions to engineering problems and designs and manages innovative and effective engineering projects.  Our “why” is to create a business that thrives, makes a positive difference to our little bit of the planet, and supports a decent lifestyle.  We pride ourselves on our values: teamwork, integrity, client focus, commitment, empathy and passion.
