Our Mission
Since 2007, Alares has been providing design services to our clients. Our team of Architects and Engineers shares a genuine and collective drive to find the best solutions to the projects our clients need to get done. In addition, our approach to challenges is often a direct reflection of our company’s founder, Don Maggioli. As a graduate of West Point and a former officer of the elite Green Berets, Don began the company based on the strong leadership training and high standards he gained from his earlier experiences. Today, this commitment to excellence and a military “can-do” attitude guide how we tackle challenges – with the energy to complete the best job possible and to always leave the world a better place than when we found it.
What Does Alares Mean?
We are often asked, “Why the name Alares?” or “What does Alares mean?”
The name Alares has significant meaning for our organization. Alares were a kind of militia among the Romans, so called from ala – or Latin for “wing” – because of their lightness and swiftness in combat. The name Alares was selected because our philosophy is based on our goal to always achieve our clients’ objectives in a swift manner, without sacrificing quality for speed.
