throughout the US and serving in varying business development roles. He

is a past municipal mayor, chairperson of a local planning/zoning

commission, past member of Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Mayors

Association, EDC, and DDA. His years of experience in real estate, zoning,

and the political arena provide our clients with the requisite information in

their respective projects. Lee is an managing partner in SMJ International

LLC, LAB Architects LLC, Structural Engineering Solutions LLC, and

Atomic LLC.

Erik P. Neitzel, IEEE WCP

Principal

Erik has extensive lifecycle experience in mobile wireless networks, most

recently as VP of Regional Deployment for Mobilitie LLC. Erik spent 15

years at U.S. Cellular as Director of Systems Planning and

Implementation/Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and Network

Architect, where he served as the company’s subject matter expert for

Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture and technology. During his

tenure, he spearheaded teams responsible for executing all major

engineering technology initiatives from research and development to

systems implementation and operationalization, including next-generation

wireless network upgrades and deployments (LTE, heterogeneous

networks, SON), billing systems integration and release development

testing, and mobile core network infrastructure and application servers

(VoLTE/RCS, IP-VM, 4G roaming), translating strategic business objectives

into final design and network implementation. He holds a M.S. in

Information Technology from Northwestern University and a B.S. from
