Both men bring to DCSi a wealth of experience in the engineering field. “At DSCI we pride ourselves in both the depth and breadth of experience that we offer our clients,” says DCSi founder and owner, Richard Farkas, “and Gaither and Martin bring just that to the table.

Andy Gaither comes to DCSi with a varied background in informations systems and systems analysis. With a degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Nevada, Reno, Gaither has held positions in the Navy Reserves as well as the private sector.

Gaither most recently worked doing commissioning as a project manager and systems integrator overseeing the design, program, and commission control sequences for the building automation of central plants, boilers, chillers, air handlers, AC units, fan coils, pumps and lighting equipment. He worked on everything from troubleshooting diagnosis and repair of systems to creating user interface graphics and training end users. At DCSi he will be managing the Las Vegas Water District Projects - the Visitor's Center and the Desert Living Center.

Carl Martin comes to DCSi as our new Electrical Commissioning Manager. Martin has nearly 30 years of experience in commissioning and construction management of various commercial and industrial projects. He has done construction management for large-scale (250k to 4B) projects from pre-bid to final turnover and acceptance as well as been the Commissioning Manager for a micro-electronic manufacturing plant. Most recently he was the manager of all the electrical and control contractors at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. He did Electrical Management and was the QA lead on a fast-track offshore oil and gas platform that involved providing constructability and design review of the electrical, HVAC control, instrument process control, and fire protection systems for the process modules, electrical gear and living quarters. He has also worked with low voltage control systems. Martin holds electrical licenses in four states (AK, UT, WY, TX).

DCSi founder Richard Farkas notes, “Gaither and Martin have the one-the-ground experience we look for at DCSi. We need people who know what is going on at a building site as well as on paper.”

DCSi has been commissioning buildings in the Las Vegas area since 1999. Currently, nearly 90% of DCSi’s contracts are performed for repeat clients and direct referrals. “At DCSi we’re committed to helping build better buildings to improve occupant comfort, health, well-being and productivity.
