About Me

People are Worth It, not Water’s Worth It

My name is Steve Drangsholt and I’m consulting engineer in Boise, ID. I’m a leader, manager, marketer and kind human being. I’ve been in the water sector since 2006 and actively involved in creating better community through my passion for water.

Why Trash Panda? One night long ago in Little Rock, AR I went to a brewery called Lost Forty Brewing. They had an amazing beer called Trash Panda IPA – lots of haze and heavy on the hops. I may have enjoyed a few too many that night and thus Trash Panda (shortened to TP) was born. Thanks to my good friend Matt Formica it has stuck as my nickname in my water industry circle of friends and colleagues.
