President and CEO Kenneth Smith comments, “As a company we are excited to be chosen as an influence in the industry. To be one of the world’s top performing design firms is a testament of hard work and dedication over the past 95 years. It has been about learning and changing and finding the right people who come onboard that “make things happen”. We offer “service with a personal touch.” Our broad client market includes pipeline companies, land developers, oil and gas exploration companies, industries, and local, state, and federal governments.”

Smith goes on to say, “I think of all the challenges the company faced since my grandfather founded it in 1913. I’m amazed at where the firm has been and where we are today. We have seen two World Wars, the Great Depression, the decline of the oil industry, and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and still this firm, keeps working with our clients, addressing their unique needs.
