Geosef (Joey) Straza, Chief Executive Officer / President of LUCHNER TOOL ENGINEERING Geosef (Joey) Straza, Chief Executive Officer / President
Geosef (Joey) Straza has more than two decades of leadership experience in the Aerospace Industry. In 2007, Joey started VerTechs Enterprises with his brother George. As President his motto has been quite simple. Joey calls is POPP, which stands for having a Plan, Options, Patience, and Perseverance. Our objective and goal is to seek and solve the issues and problems that our customers face today - for a better tomorrow. We at VerTechs challenge ourselves daily. If we don't push the limits, we are not doing our job. Like Albert Einstein once said, "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it". With this philosophy engrained in each of us, we have created unique technological breakthroughs in light-weight structures; breakthroughs that position the aerospace industry with more economical solutions for this decade and beyond.

Joey has been married to his wife Jamie since 1995.
They have 3 Children: Jack, Julia, and James.

A passion of Joeys is a foundation called HeadNorth,www.headnorth.org. Early in 2006, a dear friend of Joey's, Eric Northbrook had an accident and was paralyzed while riding a motorcycle in Mexico. Eric and two of Eric's closest friends asked Joey if he would like to be involved with starting a foundation to help people such as Eric afflicted with Spinal Cord Injuries. Without hesitation, Joey accepted. Being part of this organization is one of Joey's most prized accomplishments and one that is most fulfilling –
to help others.      
George C.P. Straza, Chief Knowledge Officer of LUCHNER TOOL ENGINEERING George C.P. Straza, Chief Knowledge Officer / Inventor
George Straza has been involved in the Aerospace Business since he was a young boy by being around his Father George who owned Jet Air and his Uncle John who owned Straza Industries. Because of this influence during the days of the space race, George has admitted to having Jet Fuel running through his veins. In fact, a member of the Straza family has been involved with every manned space program including the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle missions. George at a young age was able to be mentored by some of the great minds of that era. George took that opportunity and has never stopped thinking what is possible. The answer "No" is not acceptable. George relishes in the challenges of tomorrow knowing full well that there is always a solution in sight.
