    Chris Gavitt

    Technical Director, Managing Partner

    BS Environmental Engineering - University of Vermont

    Certifications: AWS D18.1, AWS 17.1, AWS D1.2, AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX

    After graduating from the University of Vermont in 2012, Chris started his career building skyscrapers in New York City. A passion for outdoor sports brought him to Colorado where, in 2020, he founded Alloy Metalworks. Chris’s lifelong curiosity and problem-solving mindset have shaped Alloy’s approach to precision welding and technical collaboration. 

    Chris splits his time between the shop floor, building parts, and the office, contributing his technical knowledge and eye for the smallest details.

    Cynta Hritz

    Business Director, Managing Partner

    BS Strategic Communication and Advertising - University of Colorado Boulder

    MS in Management and Organization - University of Colorado Denver

    Cynta officially joined Alloy Metalworks in 2023 after finishing her Masters in Management and Organization, with an emphasis in Business Strategy. However, she has been part of Alloy’s evolution from the very beginning when the business first started in her and Chris’s garage.

    Cynta keeps Alloy on-track and in compliance. She takes on everything from HR to purchasing to 3D drafting and project management.

    Randy Zavala

    Fabrication Lead

    Certifications: AWS D18.1, AWS D1.2, AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX

    Randy brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience in high-end fabrication, with expertise spanning complex geometric builds, precision sheet metal work, finishing and polishing, and precision welding. He has been an essential part of Alloy’s team since 2023, contributing to projects ranging from incoloy chemical reactor systems to aerospace ground support structures. When a project requires meticulous care for fabrication, Randy delivers.

    Mark Bolek

    Welding Lead

    Certifications: AWS D1.2, ASME Section IX

    To say Mark is experienced in advanced welding is an understatement. If 10,000 hrs of practice is the standard checkpoint for mastery, then Mark’s 40,000 hours puts him at Jedi level. His CV includes companies like SpaceX, Micro Motion, MKS Instruments and more. As Welding Lead, Mark guides projects requiring advanced welding techniques, where metallurgy, skill, and experience intersect to achieve exceptional results. His leadership and expertise ensure that Alloy’s most demanding welds are consistently carried out with master-level precision.

    Richard J Morrow

    Sales Engineer

    BA Physics, St. Mary’s College

    MBA, St. Thomas College

    If you have worked in the precision manufacturing space in and around Colorado, you likely know Richard. He has worked in Advanced Manufacturing for a really long time… (you can ask him exactly how long). He is the master connector who not only knows the people behind the business, but what valuable connections can be made to better all parties. He is the glue between teams, projects, and partnerships.
