Team

Owner

Matthew
Hagerty, PE

Since relocating from California to Nashville on New Year’s Eve, 2017, my dream was to start my own engineering business and embrace the American Dream. I have a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from UC Davis, and a master’s degree in structural engineering from UC Berkeley. I have been in the engineering and construction industry since 2006, and I am licensed as both a general contractor and a professional engineer in multiple states. I am not only an industry leader and expert in structural engineering, but with over 15 years of experience in residential construction, I bring constructibility, value engineering, and cost savings to my designs and recommendations. 

In addition to being the Founder and Owner of SolidBase Structural Engineers, I am a modern day adventurer. When not immersed in my work, you’ll find me exploring scenic hiking trails with my loyal Australian Shepherd, climbing mountains, or savoring culinary delights at Nashville’s finest restaurants.
My life’s mission revolves around adding value to people’s lives. I hope our engineering and inspection services serve as a testament to this commitment, offering you an exceptional and memorable experience along with the information needed to move you along in life.

Vice President

Kristin
Indorato

I may not be an engineer, but I am the driving force behind SolidBase Structural Engineers’ operational success. As Vice President, I bring a diverse background and a wealth of experience to my role, complementing CEO Matthew Hagerty’s visionary leadership with strategic planning and meticulous execution. I hold a BA in English from James Madison University and have built a career spanning publishing, real estate, law, construction, and property management. My varied professional history has equipped me with an exceptional skillset in compliance, bookkeeping, project coordination, and team management.


At SolidBase, I leverage these abilities to ensure the company remains compliant with codes, licensure, payroll, and insurance requirements. I also oversee the bookkeeping team, report financials to the CEO, develop standard operating procedures (SOPs), and collaborate on strategic decisions, including partnerships, software integrations, and hiring. My fresh perspective and adaptability are invaluable assets to the company’s growth and efficiency.
Since moving to Nashville in 2016 with my husband and two sons, I have embraced a blend of creativity and attention to detail in my personal life, much like my professional one. I am a published poet and photographer, but also have a passion for numbers and find joy in tinkering with spreadsheets, setting financial goals, and optimizing my family’s budget. Whether on a nature walk or solving a jigsaw puzzle, my blend of artistry and analytical thinking mirrors the balance I bring to SolidBase every day.
