Lukas Karalevicz is the Onsite Project Manager at Bryan Tool, where he works directly with customers to develop practical solutions, prepare project estimates, and lead projects from planning through completion in the field. With a hands-on approach and strong background in the trades, he works closely with both customers and crews to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.
He started with the company 14 years ago as a welder while still in high school and has grown through multiple roles over the years. After earning his journeyman machinist certification, he served as foreman of the road crew before stepping into project management. Machining runs deep in his family — his grandfather and several other family members were machinists — and he takes pride in continuing that tradition through his work and leadership.
Throughout his career, he had the opportunity to work closely alongside the company’s founder, John, and company president, Tim, whose mentorship and family-oriented leadership helped shape both his career and work ethic. Their guidance played a major role in his development and reinforced the values that continue to guide his approach today.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kristen, their son, Logan, and their two dogs. When he’s not on a jobsite, you’ll usually find him riding horses in the mountains or working on the family’s 1922 farmhouse.lukas@bryantool.com
