SKYLER PHELPS, AIA

PRESIDENT

I am driven each day by a desire to place our clients first. Each new project is an opportunity to create design solutions that meet our client’s needs and assist them in bringing their vision to reality.

Being a part of the Mantel Teter team has opened many opportunities for me to experience rewarding relationships with clients, talented consulting engineers, qualified contractors and so many others during the design and construction phases of a project.

I wake up every morning excited about the prospect of making a positive impact on our clients’ lives by enhancing the spaces in which they live.

VICE PRESIDENT

One of the most important aspects of my job is creating friendships with clients, contractors and engineers.  

Working for Mantel Teter instills a passion within me to serve our clients by listening, recognizing and understanding their needs. With a clear vision of their needs, I can be a creative instrument that profoundly impacts the lives of countless people through the built environment. This is ultimately a responsibility that motivates me every day to work in tandem with our project teams to provide the best experience for our clients.

Friendships are created through the confidence that our clients have in the Mantel Teter team. Being a part of this team of talented architects and designers, who work diligently side by side to solidify this confidence, drives me to work harder each day, and is why I enjoy what I do!

DAVID EVANS, AIA

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

I love meeting people and learning about their facility needs. Since joining the firm in 1993, I’ve been blessed every day to collaborate with skilled designers and engineers. I’m most gratified by the process of working with many individuals toward one common goal. Each project has unique challenges and opportunities. I’m excited to have the opportunity to discover design solutions that meet our clients’ needs and exceed their expectations.

Once I’ve completed a design project and concluded the construction process, I especially enjoy experiencing the space. Watching people use, interact and live within that space is the true joy of architecture.

Serving our clients is an honor for me. The confidence they have in me and our team is humbling to say the least. Helping others and meeting their needs is why I love what I do every day.

BRADFORD ATHEY

STAFF ARCHITECT

I have known the good people of Mantel Teter for nearly 25 years, and I consider myself blessed to be a part of this talented team! Although my formal education and training is in fine arts (violin performance, music composition, and painting) I have always been drawn to creating physical spaces. Immediately after graduating from college, I was fortunate to become employed and deeply immersed in the world of architecture.

My God-given gifts, formal education, learned skills, and amazing co-workers make me feel so at home with religious facility design. It is an amazing feeling to stand in a building that was once just a dream in somebody's head. I truly enjoy being a part of this vibrant group of professionals who see grand concepts come to such reality.

STAFF ARCHITECT

It has always been my focus to use my talents and skills to make lasting improvements in the communities I serve. Becoming a part of the Mantel Teter team has allowed me to combine my personal and professional passions by creating spaces uniquely designed to fulfill the needs of our clients and the communities they serve. I find great fulfillment in creating beautiful solutions to the challenges that our clients face each day.

By developing a personal relationship with each client we serve, I am better able to understand how their community worships and how they will use the space created to serve their current and future needs as they continue to grow in a focused direction.

It is a blessing to be able to work with such a talented and passionate team, who hold every client at the center of their efforts in creating better and beautiful spaces for their community.

BRANDON COLE

PROJECT DESIGNER

My passion for design is rooted in helping clients transform their thoughts into action. At Mantel Teter, I work alongside equally enthusiastic team members to deliver fresh and creative solutions.

While I’m still early in my career, I have high hopes for the future. I can aid clients in understanding their space needs and connect with leaders’ visions for the future, while expanding my own professional knowledge and experience. Most importantly, I have the opportunity to stamp my faith on our work each day while serving others.
