Loren founded Citadel with the goal of creating an employee- and client-focused consulting firm that fused a thorough understanding of the built environment within the fields of environmental, health, and safety.

As part of his vision to bring all employees into ownership roles, Loren drove the formation of the firm’s ESOP in 2003 while simultaneously overseeing all phases of corporate development, client management, and complex project management across multiple disciplines.

A creative and focused leader, Loren has 30+ years of experience in the Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) industry, both in the public and private sectors, with numerous state, federal, and industry accreditations and certifications to his name. During his career, Loren has served as a panel member, speaker, and presenter on various EHS matters to universities, public agencies, cities, school districts, and industry conferences nationwide. He held tenure at UCLA as one of the first asbestos/lead program managers in California, where he developed policies relating to the identification and remediation of environmental contaminants for 17+ million square feet of property. He is also a founding member of both the California Medical Association Ad Hoc Committee on Lead and the California Chapter of the National Lead Abatement Council, where he currently takes an active role in the advancement of community awareness for lead poisoning.

Aside from his current CEO duties, Loren devotes his time to sitting on the City of Hope’s LA Real Estate Council, the Downtown Breakfast Club, AJU’s Real Estate Executive Council, and the Central City Association.
