Owner's Bios

F. Glen Hochstetter, Founder and President of Hammersmith, Inc.

Glen founded Hammersmith, Inc. 28 years ago. Prior to that he worked as a professional helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, and for private corporate clients as a civilian.

He has adapted his education in aeronautical design to meet the needs of his construction clients. Issues like stresses and weight-bearing loads are second nature to him now when he discusses different aspects of a project. These skills are indispensible in dealing with architects, engineers, building inspectors and clients.

Mr. Hochstetter has lived in Bridgewater, CT, with his wife, Pamela, for 32 years. They have two grown sons, Ian and Timothy, and three grandchildren.

F. Ian Hochstetter, Vice President of Hammersmith, Inc.

Ian has been involved with Hammersmith for 25 years. He began in an entry-level position and has worked his way up to Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer.

Ian holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. He is responsible for most estimating and billing functions. Additionally, he is a clear communicator and excellent hands-on mechanic, overseeing even the most challenging projects.

Flying fixed-wing aircraft and hang-gliding are two of Ian’s favorite avocations. He lives in Sharon, CT, with his wife, Trish, and son, Griffin.
