Arthur O.R. Thormann was born 1934 in Berlin, Germany, and emigrated to Canada in 1951.

He has been involved with construction projects for over half a century and as a consultant on delay claims for a good part of that time. He was also active in labor negotiations, as a trustee on employee benefit funds, and in the teaching of estimating courses. He believes that Canadians are among the freest thinkers of the world and a great people, and Arthur decided to join them as a fellow citizen.

His home base is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
