A Company Built on Ownership
In 2022, we became a 100% employee-owned company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). While our mission hasn’t changed, this transition deepens the way we deliver on it.
As owners, every member of our team is directly invested in the success of each project. It’s a model that builds consistency, initiative, and pride in our work—giving clients confidence that the team they work with today will be here tomorrow. Employee ownership also strengthens our culture and helps us attract top talent, ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality service, technical expertise, and forward-thinking solutions across every engagement. It’s more than a structure—it’s how we do business: with integrity, initiative, and a shared commitment to excellence.
