Reading, PA (May 12, 2021) – We’re proud to share that our company founder, Joseph Sinclair, was selected for The Penn State College of Engineering’s “40 under 40” Award. This award is given to graduates who are 40 years old or younger for their early career impact.

“We are proud to have these extraordinary young alumni as part of the Penn State engineering community,” said Justin Schwartz, Harold and Inge Marcus Dean in the College of Engineering.

“Every day, they inspire change and impact tomorrow — as leaders and mentors in their careers and communities — demonstrating that, with hard work and determination, a Penn State engineering degree has limitless potential.”

PSU Engineering Alumni — nominated by Penn State faculty, staff and alumni — were selected for the 2021 cohort of honorees based on their representation of Penn State’s core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, discovery, excellence and community; their commitment to maintaining a lifelong relationship with the college; and their success in professional experience, leadership and community service.

They will be honored at a 40 Under 40 Alumni Award ceremony on Sept. 24, 2021.

When asked to give advice to an aspiring engineering student or entrepreneur, Joe Sinclair had this to say:

“Practice being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Try tackling problems that you have no business trying to tackle. You will find the more often you do this, the more confident you’ll become in your abilities to persevere where others falter and fail.”
